I just wanted to ask if you had the EGR control solenoid "black box" hooked up properly all the way back to the ECU. It aint gonna do anything without that piece.. There's also a nice detailed diagram on hooking this bad boy up..
My state does inspections but not near where i live, the vx engine is obd1, and my car is obd2a. i used an obd2a engine harness to obd1 conversion harness. I do have the EGR control solenoid "black box" hooked up properly all the way back to the ecu. I've tested each wire and compared it to the shop manual diagrams. I've even gone through all the trouble shooting steps in the manual and it seems to check out.

It has been about 6 months since I did my thorough checking, i think maybe i'll test everything again.

I have an mpguino and even with the egr unplugged the car still goes into lean burn mode. I just wonder if it would get better gas mileage with the egr working.
