EGR valve

Ok, i just took my car in for emissions 1994 bonneville, and passed with flying colours.
now all of a sudden the car is jerking sometimes, and almost stalling out. The dealer tells me it's gonna be 300 and some odd dollars for the part alone. Is it possible for this part to just go out of the blue, since a week earlier i passed emissions with no problem? am i getting screwed on the price?

You have a digital egr on that car and they are pretty pricey. Why don't you check around for a price at your local parts store or even the dealer. Yes, the egr will cause the car to stall. Why don't you take it out and clean the bottom ports. Pretty straight forward.

well i already had the fix done, cost me an arm and a leg. 80 some odd dollars in labour, 300 and something for the part, another like 10 or 12 for the port cleaning. All prices are Canadian. Car runs fine again though. don't know if it had to cost that much?

Where would one find the EGR Valve on a 98 Bonnie?:confused:

lol i bought my egr valve for 130 bucks at auto zone .. 300 argg.. u got completly screwed.. dont go to that guy again.. btw on this engine the egr valve is connected right at the top near the injectors so its very ez to change.. just a few screws taken in and out.

so can the egr valve be just cleaned?
