Yes the car has a stock hx motor and is throwing the egr code. Thanks for the input. trying to do everything and anything not to have to buy a new one. dont have the cash for that now.
try cleaning all the stuff i told you about first, without changing the egr. It may make it better. because the sensor doesn't detect a bad egr, it measures the actual flow of gases so if you just clean up the supporting parts then you are permitting better flow....kind of like porting.....if this doesn't work then you can change it out as a last resort, but i am 99.9% sure that this is your problem
