turn the shop vac on and hold hose over egr port- insert wire hanger and jab away
you have a vac leak this happens sometimes: the very top cover gasket- if you lay it on the engine side it lines up all the holes and ports except its upside down Must match it to the top cover side- or a port on it gets blocked and screws the car up! pull that top cover before you think its other parts its best to remove any sensor from the manifold- they are used to gas and air- not water always suspect the last work on the car when a new problem occurs you used what torque on TB to manifold and intake to engine? and verified the torque reading before use? |
do some seafom thru the manifold vac port- help that loosened carbon and crud get out safely

Hi guys,
I think I have fixed the problem already. I made a very stupid mistake. I didn't realize the EGR gasket has three layers (sandwich). I removed one layer and then saw the middle metal layer, so I thought that was part of the EGR valve, put a new gasket on that directly. Until yesterday when I was trying take apart the EGR valve and found some bolts were blocked by something, I pried it and found that it was gasket. So I removed the gasket and cleaned the surface really well and put new gasket. Everything is fine now. There is no pending code anymore. After that, I did a seafoam but the smoke was not terrible at all may be because I cleaned the manifold and TB too well. :) Thank you all very much for your help!!! -mm |
