Awesome tip. Thanks a ton.
If you happen to see this one can you tell me if it was an easy thing to change or would it be worth the expense to have a mechanic do the work. Do you think the name was the EGR Valve? I was looking for what it could have been called on line and there are a couple of valves that sound like it could be the one.
I'm not a mechanic but I do a lot of the basics and have some sense about vehicles and try to do as much of the no brainer stuff as possible.
