EGR Problem. Threw a CEL

hey all
The other day my CEL came on it turns out to be the EGR valve. Last time it did that, I had a hose that got disconnected. Its not that. Took off all the hoses and cleaned them. All good. So my question is, should I replaced the EGR valve itself first, or the little sensor piece first? I don't want to spend alot, because I dont have alot $$$. Thanks.

Check the solenoid (sensor) for cracks around where the vacuum lines connect. That's what happened to me. If you don't have emissions, the cheapest thing is to block the egr valve. If you can't do that, then IDK both of those useless parts cost more than I wanted to pay.

Re: EGR Problem. Threw a CEL

This might be a little off subject but I think it's related. I have been looking at the DC-Sports 4-2-1 header. I noticed that it says it is "without the EGR only". What does that mean? Sorry to sorta jack your thread david.

Re: EGR Problem. Threw a CEL

I have absolutly no clue because the header has nothing to do with the EGR.

Re: EGR Problem. Threw a CEL

That's what a thought, but heres what it says on their site:

http://www.dcsports.com/product_headers_app.asp

I'm confused.
