I have a 1998 Grand Am 3.1 liter.  I get an "Innsuficiant EGR Flow" Error
code.  I have changed the EGR valve but the code comes back. Any ideas?

Often it's not the valve.  The port to the valve could be blocked with
carbon.

Agree with Bill did you clean the gunk off everything and reset the codes?

our honda civic did the same thing, the garage wanted to replace the
"valve" .
This is a $300 part w/labor.....I wonder now if only a cleaning was
needed?

The car only has 45k on it and is 3yrs old.

Its bad enough they take $87 to go on the computer to talk the cars
computer .....
basically to tell you that you have to spend more money to fix another
valve.
