Re: got the code info
If that is the only EGR fault it can indicate (I know the later ones can sense positioning problems to a point) then the EGR might not be opening. If it was sticking open, you'd have issues with poor idle, possibly stalling on throttle drop (like coming off the highway, or dropping the throttle abruptly after acceleration)
I know the EGR was a common source of problems on the older 2.8's and 3.1's, so it wouldn't suprise me if it was going bad.

Re: got the code info
thats exactly what my car is doing.. i cant believe it!!!! it idles horribly, like shakes and it has stalled a few times. at one point the RPM needle dropped to 0 while i was at a lite but car was still running. then needle went up when i accelerated to go..
now i have to find out where this circuit is and replace it. |
