Alot of people are having lots of trouble with the EGR.

Here are the solutions:

First of all clean it out. It gets very cruddy in there. If that dont work, replace the EGR assembly. If the light still comes on you need to replace the green sensor located on the yellow vacuum lines. H2Kfrosty has the pics, I hope he posts a link to the sensor to be pointed out. My brother whos 15 started working at a shop with this mastertech. He troubled shooted the problem while the old guy coached him to find the problem. I just drove the car from Atl to New Orleans on Sunday. I raced the car and no light. I hooked up the OBD II to the car and no hidded EGR code. The car does feel quite a bit quicker. I hope this helps those that have not figured out their problem.

Sensor is green and has three vacuum lines attached to it. Located on the same rail that fuel lines run towards the front of the car.


To solve my issue my brother replaced the EGR assembly and the green sensor. The sensor was not sending or triggering vacuum. Something of that nature. There was a foul fuel smell coming out of the car that made me want to throw up at times. Very bad smell.

also jay a few of my race buddies who have 8 sec cars say thay bypass
it all together by putting a plate behind it. i always have a problem with my purge valve checklight when i boost really hard sometimes it comes on. my car use to pull flat when it came on but nissan put a different one in and it solved that problem but the light still comes on. any ideas.
the code is 0443 i think.

It's a good idea to clean it when you have the manifold off as a rule of thumb.

Highly encouraged!!!!!brake cleaner, a small brush or a cloth will work fine. You can also scrape the gunk out with a flat screw driver. And remember to replace your gasket so you dont have any leaks.

Yeah...when you are putting the intake manifold back on.. How do you get the bolts in the very back in?

Live and learn. There is no special technique. Kinda a trial and error thing. They are bia's. Interesting thread. Thanks for the info. I shoulda done it when I had my manifold off. Oh well. Ceasar, you really think it helped you out? I was under the impression the that EGR system shuts off at WOT. No?
