mikaleda Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 it's hard to tell by the pics but it looks like either the vaccume booster hose or the pcv system hose, im leaning to the latter, but it looks like its blocked so i wouldn't think thats whats causing your bad milage.

Lacyjs9 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 what about the egr light being on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It might be dirty, wich if it were to get stuck open would cause symptoms of a vaccume leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacyjs9 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 ok after burn valve has been removed but everything has been capped off but egr valve light is on should i replace this or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans imports Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 or just block egr off those cars realy liked there antibackfire valve i whould reinstall one if you can find it the stock carb setup worked realy good but had a ton of stuff hooked to it. The fact that it has a code means is a feedback carb theese carbs had a varablle main jet that was computer controled and tended to get stuck in one spot mostly on the ritch side. It has default abillity can go full ritch if sees a problem. I whould serch out a 85 -86 carb thats non feedback and try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
