Why do you need one? Is a code for egr popping up? If so try cleaning them. They dont go bad that often. they just get full of carbon and dirty. Get a can of brake cleaner and a toothbrush,sit down and scrub the insides away. A new one is like 100 something bucks. Call a junkyard nearby,it'll be cheaper.

 

I think its a bad idea posting your phone number on open forum just my opinion not trying to be nosy

 

normally i wouldnt post my number but i might not have that one much longer anyways. i have always had the code but just recently i have got rough idle, then i got where it shakes in the rough idle and now i get stalls pretty much daily. i work at a junk yard as a dismantler i just wanted to see if some one had one they knew worked. i keep finding them from 70- 250 dollars. i will try to clean it but if i take it off i need a new gasket right?

 

I have one that works. From my 90 with the 5.7. Just checked interchangeability.... Compatible. if your is ac delco 2141427

 

^^yours will be tbi. His is cpi,the egr on cpi is electric. tbi is not.


Clean and test your old one. if you remove it,you MIGHT need a new gasket,ive reused them before.

 

ok so i decided to just go all out and buy a brand new one ($184.75) but i just took off my old one and it has a extra gasket like thing lol i am so confused as to what i need to do, my chilton says to "Replace Gasket" with no picture and my new one only came with one gasket. please inform me as to what the heck this is! i already installed the new one with the gasket in between the EGR and the Engine. but i have not started it up yet. By the way when i took off my old one some fluid (oil?) came out, is that normal? will upload pic in a min.

Thanks

 

Here is the set up for the old EGR and here is the EGR by itself and the Odd Gasket by itself.

 

there is only suppose to be one gasket I say just put the new one

rip off the 2 old ones clean it with a box cutter blade

 

ya thats exactly what i did and used. what do you think that other gasket thing was for? and what about the fluid?
