Egr....

um.. i posted the website a little while ago.. been away from the computer for a while bec we purchased a new toy.. a camper !!!!

so.. the check light is still on my dashboard ! bummer !!! someone said it could be egr.. i checked the hose still look good.. so i went out and bought the egr.. friend of mine replaced it for me.. disconnect the battery and it was off up to approx 50 miles.. and it came back on..

so while my friend was working on the egr area.. when you pop the hood up.. the egr located on the right hand side near the main intake ..

i just noticed it today that the hose near that egr area that connect near by brake booster area it all crack.. does it effect the engine ??

i dont know what it call the hose itself.. i just looked at the hose and it say fuel/gas

so.. im not gonna mess that hose but it does showing crack.. black rubber hose that connect the main intake to the right hand side back of the motor near by the brake booster..

anyone have a idea or what it call.. let me know..

thanks dudes....

The Emissions Light will set a lot if your gas cap is bad or you fill up with the motor running. I'd look there first. If you have a code reader, that'll show up as an evaporative (EVAP) failure. As for EGR, check the vacuum lines. I'd check the codes before playing around too much. As for cracked hoses, I say replace them if they're real bad.

Wait a minute! That hose said fuel/gas? Replace it- that might be an EVAP system leak, which would make your computer flunk you for the gas tank pressurization test.

Other common problems are O2 Sensors. A code reader would tell you that stuff.

i noticed that when im driving and stop at the red light.. the rpm is jumping little up and down.. its annoying the hell out of me !!!!

!!!!

my wife bought the cold air intake from ebay for my birthday. it is no name brand cold air intake i installed it.. after 2 to 3 month the light came on and its been on ever since !!!!!

so any idea what shall i do next ?? does the maf need to be replaced.. the filter for cold air intake was already pre oil so i didnt over oil or anything..

These might indicate a vacuum leak, check the PCV hose elbows at both ends of the plastic tube.
