OK Guys, Ill try to do that this weekend. The EGR was gummed up pretty bad when I took it out. I figured I'd try to clean it. I used to clean and reuse the EGR on my 6.0 diesel ford all the time. Can somebody explain why a sticking EGR would make so much retard. I understand the EGR not opening would make the motor think its getting air when its not and make it run rich but what tells the motor to retard? Its all retarded......Thanks guys.
