Possible EGR Problems
My 95 GLX seems a
little sick at times recently. This started about 2 months ago. The first
indicator was just after a cold start during a wet winter
afternoon. It started just fine but the idle was surging between 1000 and
1300 rpms. The surging stopped after a minute and idled
properly. I sped off and the next time I stopped for a light, it started
the same idle surging. After a couple of miles of stop and go it stalled at a
light. It started right back up without the surging but in total it
stalled 3 times in a trip of about 15 miles. Over the course of the
last couple months it has repeated this scenario 4 or so times. After
scratching my head and reading the Bentley book, I happened upon a oily PCV
valve. Hmmm. I planned on removing it to inspect it, in the process
it fell apart. I ended up having to buy 4 components to replace the one
PCV valve. $192 dealer part. This got me thinking that this might have
been the cause of my surging problem. The problem has reared its ugly head
again 4 days after replacing the PCV.
In my research in
the Bentley book they mention that the EGR system might have something to do
with these symptoms. Here in lies my question.
Has anyone had
similar problems and what was the fix.
My next steps are to
perform the checks listed in the EGR section of the book.
Please
advise.........
