speculator,
My truck always ran just fine from the first test, real smooth idle, good acceleration.
The blocked EGR did not affect the truck at all. I am surprised the EGR temp sensor
did not send a warning, because with a blocked passage, you would think that the
sensor/EGR would be getting to hot with the restriction. I might pull the sensor and
check it according to the factory manual.
I do need to retard my ignition, because I am getting pinging, even running super!
My problem actaully shows why smog testing is a good idea. I was putting out
lots of emissions unecesarily. I do hate the fact that older vehicles must go to a test
only center, instead of a test and repair here in CA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />
