If you haven't fixed the problem, check your EGR and make sure that the vacuum lines that run to it are actually hooked up.

I had crazy misfire issues and was informed to check the vac lines on the EGR valve (thanks again GST). Problem solved... use a zip tie and a bit of hair spray to keep the line from popping off.

Remove your EGR valve, install an EGR block-off plate, and disable the EGR emissions checks in your ECU Cheap, easy, simple!

where is the hose on the egr valve? Is there one right on the egr valve or is it on the manifold itself? Does anyone have a picture?

Exclamation Egr valve

I got quoted at the dealer for $260 for both parts and labor. Is that to expensive? How much is the parts itself? And its it difficult to do it myself?
