Quick question:
If my EGR valve had a crack at the base (just before where it threads onto the tube with the dpfe lines that connects to the manifold)...would it cause a dual lean code (p0171, p0174) and audible misfire @ low rpm idle?
I know that the DPFE is good (new from 6 mo's ago), the EVR is good (was bad, replaced...idle got a lot better, exhaust still sounds like a misfire) and if I remove the vacuum line from the top of the EGR and create my own vacuum...it will pull the engine down @ idle. Soooo I guess the EGR still functions.
My guess is that since the crack is below the diaphragm that the intake can pull the air through and lean itself out? Does that make sense?
