EGR Codes

Hey guys...

I've been posting off and on for a couple of days now with what I thought were fuel delivery issues on my '87 F150 302.

Turns out, I wasn't getting fuel pressure at the rail. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator, and now the truck will run, as long as I'm "giving it gas."

The truck won't idle for longer than a couple of seconds.

I've been getting all different EGR related codes.

I've replaced the EVR and the EGR Position sensor.

Today, I pulled off the EGR Valve...and...It was stuck closed. Cleaned off the carbon deposits, and it seems to be moving freely now.

Still getting 34 and 84, both KOEO.

I'm at a loss. What do you guys suggest doing next?

Thanks in advance...

Seems like if the valve is stuck closed, it's not the problem as far as the idle is concerned.

Have you cleared the codes since you replaced the parts?

Maybe check the IAC?

Steve to the rescue. Hey man.

Cleared the codes...still getting the same ones.

How would I go about testing the IAC?

I don't know about "to the rescue" - theres a ton of people in here that know a lot more about this than I do.

I'm just asking questions.

You can check the wires at the back of the connector with the key on - s/b around 10.5 volts.

Pull the valve off and take a look at the o-ring to see that it isn't shot; see if the valve isn't all crudded up with carbon. If it is, that might be keeping it from closing.

Hopefully someone who is a lot better at this will chime in and give you some other suggestions.
