But that's what a bad EGR would be, the same as a vacuum leak in which unmetered air would be getting into the intake and the computer isn't compensating for it other than reading the lean mixture from the O2 and then adding fuel. But like I said, I never experienced it but this is what I've read about on the EGR.
