hahahah im a moron :X

 

Exhaust Gas Recirculation....some emissions BS...Andrew listed what it actually does on here

Basically it warms the engine up quicker, it gets clogged over time and causes, weak rev, low idle.

When was the last time you replaced

Plugs
Wires
Cap and Rotor

 

So far I'm getting it could be a basic tune up, EGR valve, or a dirty air filter?



WTF is an EGR valve btw?? lol


Just about a year ago now.
I was actually planning to get a cap &rotor ASAP.. those look a little corroded (sp?)

 

all you need to know is its a crucial part of your emissions system that if faulty will decrease performance, kill fuel mileage and basically can make your car run like absolute shit.

 

You can have your EGR valve cleaned but I doubt that's the culprit...I've never known of B-Series to really have problems with those.

Dirty fuel filter could be a possibility too.

 

Do that and pick up some Seafoam as well

 

well i have been getting less fuel mileage since this problem popped up. damn it all to hell. haha


will a tune up fix that? i don't know how to replace an EGR valve..

 

Just do tehe tune up and see if that helps

 

I have the same problem! Where is the EGR valve and how do you go about replacing it or cleaning it??

 

I'm also wondering where this thing is, 186k and I haven't even looked at it yet.
