well not in the 3gee since its not needed any more with the mods i have. but i thought this is the best place for this. its for a '97 plymouth neon 2.0 SOHC. came up with an exhaust recircutaltion code.
here's the symtoms i've observed. hard starting, has to be cranked, let off, cranked over again then starts but runs shitty until at idle. now has a bit of a rough idle. another thing, exhaust smells like rotten eggs, gets horrible fuel milege and at freeway speeds it shudders now and then. lower speeds its ok, but just not right. another thing, it will have pinging/detonation when using 87 octane, but not with slower buring 93 octane. but all this now leads me to believe its needing a new EGR valve, especially with the exhaust recircutation problem code comming up. does this sound right? does to me and now makes sense. LMK what yall think. its my mom's pos neon so i'm trying to help her out there.
she should have traded it in for a honda like i told here a long time ago! lets just say this isnt the only problem its having, but this is a problem with these high fuel prices.
