EGR lift sensor

[mattalica]

Ok,I checked my ecu light and it flashed 12x's.According to the problem sheet I got from shepard79 that means I have some kinda problem w/ my EGR lift sensorhttp://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=26342 It's great to finally know what the problem is but,where the hell is my EGR lift sensor and how the heck do I fix it?Thank you in advance for any help,Matt :help:

the sensor is right on top of the EGR, gotta replace the whole EGR, as it is integral (I believe)....usually it's a cracked vaccuum diaphram on the EGR itself, which causes the sensor to send a code to the ecu that the valve isnt opening.....easy test is to put a longer vacuum line on the EGR and apply suction to it, and block it off and see if it holds vaccuum (use your tongue)...if it dont hold, replace the EGR.
