Re: Brake lines. Bubble flare. Help me!

Well, I got the job done. I used a double flare tool to make the bubble flares. I just didn't do the 2nd flare. It worked just fine. I had to get the proportioning valves off a junked car. I also had to drill the where the brake pedal connects to the booster a little bit bigger so it would fit on my brake pedal. Then, I had to stick a peice of metal on the brake pedal where it pushes the brake light button because it wasnt reaching. The brakes work just fine. Now my EGR Valve is shot though and my transmission keeps slipping. Are the problems related?

Re: Brake lines. Bubble flare. Help me!

Sounds good on the brakes.

As for the EGR, remove it and try cleaning the EGR and the EGR passageways with carb cleaner first. Very common for these to get clogged. As for the transmission, when was the last time the fluid and filter was changed?

Any other SES light codes? If the egr code comes and goes, then you have a problem with your ECM (computer). I had a park avenue that kept throwing EGR codes....

You know, come to think of it I think it is possible that you have a bad ECM... there is a controller in the ECM (I cant think of the exact name at the moment) that controlls several functions and one of these switches contolls both the EGR and the TCC solenoid in the transmission.
