I'm messing with EGR today.  I hooked the egr valve to the manifold head.  That means Im mixin exhaust gas with the fresh air 100% of the time.   I think that will make me run leaner.  The solinoid that triggers the EGR is hooked to my vacuum gage.  so I can determine if it is working  or when the cpu decides to squirt some exhaust gas into the throttle body.   LEt me know if this is a bad idea..  SC

This is true and while you are fiddling with that, throw some pie dough in the new hub caps then drive around dragging the brakes to get them hot . WOW !!  free pie crust  ???

Ok.. day one,   Full time Egr on.  I have the vacuum gage hooked to the soleniod that opens a vacuum to pull the EGR open.  and the Egr valve  is hooked to a full time vacuum.  Sooo,,  I think it is on / open  all the time.    When I start the car cold, the egr soleniod  opens and the vacuum gage goes up and  down  when I accelerate and off when I  idle. This seems like it should work.


 after about 60 seconds the vacuum gage  goes to zero.  and stays there for the whole trip.   This is weird  so I figure my EGR computer is broke.  The egr gas is fed into the air filter  so it gets mixed real good with fresh air.  Engine is a little rough at idle but not real bad.  On the road it might be running stronger but it is not worse.  SC
