Re: '91 Buick Les LTD stumbling/stalling

EGR stands for Exaust Gas Recirculation. The EGR valve opens when your engine is below operating temp to introduce exaust gases into your intake manifold for the purposes of heating the incoming air. By heating the incoming air, a better air to fuel mix is created producing more efficiency.
