Re: 94 Grand Prix cold start problem

Yes, if the EGR is stuck open this would be the same effect. The engine doesn't like *any* EGR at idle because it interferes with combustion stability.

I would think you'd also see some power loss due to that.

'94 being OBD-1 would not have any extended diagnostics for verifying function of the EGR...it would just be commanded in open loop and that's it.
