EGR flow insufficient. need some help.
i replaced my EGR, IAC, and cleaned out my throttle body last summer. after about a year with no problems my check engine light comes on with an EGR flow insufficient code. this is the same code i had last summer
. im assuming the sensor that reads the EGR is bad but i know nothing about it or where it is, or if that is even the problem. i'd like to get some help with this so i can get rid of the code for good. any advice is welcome i appriciate the help.

Some monkey at a shop pulled the supply lead out of the EVR and the coffee can vacuum reservoir had a couple of holes in the bottom. I fixed the connector and sealed the coffee can with several turns of electrical tape. That'll do until payday when I can get a plastic one from pick-a-part.

I can't say. From what I've heard it was a little hit-and-miss for Ford applications. I do know that Chevy used them on their full-sized vans so that's what I'll target when I'm at the junkyard.
