Just wanted to find out what the symptoms of a failing EGR is on our cars. I'm pulling the codes later this week, butin the meantime, I want to know what others have experienced. My symptoms include:
1-rough idle--dies without pressing on the accelerator and maintaining 1k rpm (in park or drive)
2-a 'surging' of the engine. Sometimes it's like something is holding it back
3-CE light that comes on and goes of at 25 to 35 mph respectively
4-an occasional 'pinging' noise from the pass side of the engine
All those lead a friend (mechanic) to believe that it is the EGR. In fact, he's put lunch on the line. He won't be able to pull the codes until the end of this week though.
Here's what I've done to the car: (related to this problem)
Plugs & Wires
New DIS
New O2 sensors
New PFE sensor
Not related: (I'm hoping)
'95 supercharger
1.73 roller rockers
resealed upper 1/2 of engine (Fel-Pro)
New radiator (stock style)
New HG and heads @ 30k miles (has 92k on it now)
New temp sending unit
Everything except the heads and HG were done within the last 9k miles. Just wanted to check with anyone else who has had EGR trouble to see if this sounds right.
Thanks
