Chris, Thank so much for your great thread with the TSB's. They helped me out a lot! Really appreciate it.
I have a question. Do you have any clue...as to the purpose of the EGR tube, relating to TSB 99-085? I have the same car as you.....Pearl Black. I need to do this work...have the capability (was a machinist for 15 years). The messed up this is....I have a new EGR.....without the tube. They will NOT sell the tube alone! Typically....it comes with the EGR...that I dont need. I have the feeling, that the purpose of the tube, because of the material or plating...slows down the accumulation of carbon. My thinking is......a good cleaning....should be sufficient. My car just turned 135,000 miles before it started the problem.....If it goes another 130K...I will be happy! I hate to buy ANOTHER EGR....I dont need!
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks again.......for all the work you've done for othere people!
