Did you replace it? I think it's right on top of the motor so it's not too hard to do.

Never heard of the car shuting down becuase of a bad EGR, unless yours is really bad

You most definitely have to replace it if you get a Range/Performance code.

it will probably take you all of 2 minutes to replace. it sits right by the brake fluid resevoir. it does require 2 gaskets, but if they arent in bad shape i wouldnt worry about it. i dont think there are any torque specs on the bolts either.

EGR delete if you dont ever want to buy an EGR Valve again. www.milzymotorsports.com (http://www.milzymotorsports.com)
Talk to Mike about this.

i had no idea the egr valve was so expensive. i just looked it up on autozone.com and its listed @ $253.99. the egr delete is cheaper (around $130 + shipping for the delete kit and the new pcm) and is permanent so i would recommend that route.

Tighten the nuts to 30 N·m (22 lb. ft.).

or you just cut a little piece of aluminum to cover the manifold after you saw it off for about $10
