The EGR has been bad since i bought the car. I just verified this tonight because of the EGR code and because it wouldn't open when vacuum was applied to it. The previous owner said he'd put on several EGR valves in the 5 years he had it. Here's my question:
Is the EGR valve on the '87+ 5.0L's a common fail item?
He also mentioned he bought used EGR valves so that's probably the problem, but i was just wondering if anyone else has had to change their EGR valve a few times.
I'm also interesting in hearing from people who have never had to change their EGR valve.
Thanks,
