So could someone describe to me where abouts this EGR valve is? Though I have no issues, it could probably be a great idea to clean it out.

But you will still want to "flush" the tranny. Trust me, you'll see better fuel mileage even on the first flush. City driving used to net us 230/240 miles; now we'll get an avg of 280 easy. Sitting @ 250 right now with a tad less than a quarter fuel gauge left (cuz we all know that @ the quarter hash mark there isn't a quarter tank left). LOL

Good luck!

 

i will go take some pics of the EGR valve for ya

and yeh, i'm def still gonna do a tranny flush

 

here are the pics of the location of the EGR Valve.
I have outlined the EGR Valve in Red
the 2 bolts that need removing are marked with red X's
the single vacuum line that runs to the EGR valve is outlined in blue

 

Hey! awesome RMR heat-shielded sri there! I got one too; except mine has rusted alot on the bottom lower sheet metal. Needs a good sanding and new paint.

Thx alot for the pics! I'll probably do a cleaning this weekend.

 

lol yeh its a nice intake. Soon it'll be replaced with my turbo setup though

yeh, cleaning this out is def worth doing from the looks of things. Maybe i will even save on gas. lol
i get about 270 city miles on a full tank, so maybe with this, plus the tranny flush i will get even more

 

I flushed my tranny, just got it back today. Works very well.

No more issues. I will report soon.

 

hey how much of the trans foam did u put in the tranny?? all of it?

 

i put in a 1/2 pint.
the seafoam has instructions on the back.

 

mine doese it all the time

 

thanx im going to use that today and get my flush done tomarrow

 

DAMIT!!!!!
i cleaned out the EGR valve and put everything back together and now my car idles WAY of!!
i dont know wat to do i was messing with it and found out if i unplug the vac line from it ,it idles reg
Plz help dont know wat else to do !!
Oh and BTW B4 i cleaned it it was driving normal , with normal idle

 

mine did the same thing. unplug the battery and reset the ECU

 

man--dont know if this has already been suggested but mine did the same thing and it turned out that i painted my intake and dumbass me left a little piece of painters tape on the pipe which stuck on the honneycomb of the MAF -- took it off and it was fine.

 

Hope that fixes it! sounds like it should.

 

okay i reset the ECU and didnt fix it
im worried that im going to have to spend alot of money to fix it
like if i broke the EGR
if i unplug the vac line(smallest line ) on the throttle body it stops doing it
