Hello,

My check engine idiot light keeps coming on - code as checked from Autozone
says EGR valve flow issue.... I took out the valve, cleaned it off...
checked the valve operation.. seems to be working okay..

Any ideas?... it comes and goes... went for about 2 weeks in the working
state, now back to "check engine" on again. Think it might be the diverter
valve?....

Thanks!

Did you check the vacuum lines? They can get clogged with all the carbon
too, plus they crack. I have a 92 GT and it's EGR valve is still working
quite fine.

Good advice on the vacuum lines. Also make sure the EGR valve does work as
if this is vacuum operated there can be a small pinhole that can cause it to
lose vacuum and not function correctly so it may need to be replaced. Plus
check the manifold passage way as well as it too can get clogged.
