jono Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 My egr has not done much work since installed in a clean condition 15000 km if that Just disconnected it to see if it was cause of lumpy idle and started up first time today, drove off to find once warmed up she idles about 1200 - throttle body vac port plugged. So connected egr again to find idle back to 800 Something dicky in the egr me thinks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Never had one do that. Not that it can't. Check the CTS , those can mess with idle, and not cause a code while doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Somehow, people who deletes the EGR on their EA engines, reports positive feedback. Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Well, getting best fuel economy so far...see if it continues, or balances out next fill If you can google the john bennet cooling system, he was doing radical things with EGR, like porting them out to increase its contribution at the right moments gaining economies, addressing cavitation caused by water pumps, recirculating coolant bypassing the radiator and getting cooler running systems, thermostat in the lower hose like EJs, and gaining power increases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
