It's always the EGR code on the ECU diag - SeedyROM 04:13:42 07/01/04 I thought that the EGR was closed under WOT? - Marshall 14:25:30 06/30/04 I do believe that is correct. (n/m) - Kenny 14:29:40 06/30/04 maybe they meant "Inoperative" as in stuck open? (n/m) - ZEngineer (TT) 14:51:04 06/30/04 Open = operating. So, I don't think so. (n/m) - Kenny 15:00:21 06/30/04 can open & close = operative - ZEngineer (TT) 15:04:05 06/30/04 If it's closed, it's not recirculating - hence not operating - Kenny 15:06:41 06/30/04 but if it's not operational, it means it's stuck - ZEngineer (TT) 15:11:17 06/30/04 False. - Kenny 16:02:36 06/30/04 2nd. (n/m) - YugoBernie (NoVA) 16:21:34 06/30/04 If it was stuck open, the combustion would be cooler - Marshall 15:24:17 06/30/04 What I don't get about that is the EGR is - Seb (Specialty-Z) 19:04:12 06/30/04 you are right, injecting "cold, burnt air" would be even... - Technomancer 10:44:34 07/01/04
