Sorry dude..GM did not put in a 2.3 liter engine in the sierra


The EGR valve is an emission valve that "recycles" exhaust gases back into the compustion chamber to reduce emissions.

Well thats great. I am new to this engine and was thinking that valve would be a problem but since I don't have one no worries. What else could cause a hesitation in this engine. Changed plugs yesterday and put injector cleaner in today.
