What your car is doing, I want to check out the control valve to see if its working right. AND I GOT a laptop, ran EASE tonight for the first time, its cool. You need to come by next weekend and let me work on the car again.

Too much EGR flow tends to weaken combustion, causing the engine to run roughly or stop. With too much EGR flow at idle, cruise, or cold operation, any of the following conditions may happen:
* Engine stops after cold start.
* Engine stops at idle after deceleration.
* Car surges during cruise.
* Rough idle.
If the EGR valve should stay open all of the time, the engine may not idle.
Too little or no EGR flow allows combustion temperatures to get too high during acceleration and load conditions. This could cause:
* Spark knock (detonation).
* Engine overheating.
* Emission test failure.
* Engine stops after cold start.
* Engine stops at idle after deceleration.
* Car surges during cruise.
* Rough idle.
