Re: How do you know if your EGR is bad?
how can you tell if its running rich? its fuel injected so there is no reason for it to be running rich unless the pcm is throwing a code (assuming you havent tuned it) if you are soully basing your theory on smelling gasoline your fuel/air mixture probably isn't fully detonating, and you should check your ignition components.K&N air filter, Whisper air lid, magnaflow LT1 cat back, and magnaflow high flow cat, pacesetter headers, silverstars<br /><br />more to come soon<br />but for now im out of money

Re: How do you know if your EGR is bad?
mine is running rich and it always gets me smelling like it after a nice drive lol its the worst when its revving up in the higher rpm's like above 4 but idle is also rich, heck its rich all the time but if i hit it u can see the smoke behind me but i have no SES lights or anything? o yea i also dont have a cat? would that make it run rich and smell horrible?
