Hi, Guys! i've been searching in the forums about the EGR valve, because my engine light came on and in autozone, the guy told me that my EGR valve was the the cause. So I live in Florida, so not emissions tests are required by law; my question is about if the EGR valve malfunction would have an impact on the MPG. I read a tread about the EGR valve not having an impact on my miles per gallon. Somebody said here that only the new oxigen sensor and a tune up can improve our MPG. I am asking because my MPG are a little poor right now so i was thinking that my bad EGR valve might have something to do with it.
thanks for your replies. |

Reset your ECU, and see if the CEL comes back up.
When it does, run the test to find the code of what it is. If it is certainly your EGR, there isn't much to the system from my experiance. Remove it and inspect it, find another at a yard. |
