THe egr valveS apply one after another or idependently under specific loads. At some point, the "faulty" EGR valve is not energised...hence the fault is not detected, hence no MIL. WHen conditions are such that THIS valve is tentativelky energised..and it does not, then you have the MIL. I have lived this condition too.
THe torque converter clutch can apply in 3rd and 4th gear. It applies only under light load and once applied in 4th gear, the RPM at 100 km/h will drop to 1600-1700. Without the TCC, rpm in same conditions will be over 2000.
