testing EGR & IAC
'93 GMC Jimmy 4x4 4-door auto with the cpi vortec v-6
Is there a way to test these? I'm showing trouble codes that seem to indicate faults with these 2 parts... I don't wanna shell out $190 for an EGR valve if it's not really broken.

RE: testing EGR & IAC
The electronic EGR valves typically don't go bad, but rather clog. You may want to try removing both the EGR valve and the IAC valve and give them a good cleaning with a sensor safe carb cleaner. An EGR gasket with an integrated screen can be purchased that will reduce the tendancy of carbon deposits from hanging up the EGR valve.
