My blazer starts out fine when cold,then gradually runs worse and worse. Pushing gas pedal to floor makes it worse. Finally, it will only run just above idle. I was able to limp it home Christmas eve. Does this sound like a bad EGR valve? When blazer sits it will start up again fine. I had intake removed and channels all cleaned, but not sure about EGR valve. I just took EGR valve off the blazer. The "torx" screw underneath is freely moving in and out when i depress it. Does this mean EGR is ok? or can it be faulty internally?
OK, I took the EGR valve off the engine, got a new gasket, cleaned all the carbon from the internal that I could see. The EGR plunger is free. I re-installed the valve. The Blazer starts fine as always. When I took it out to road test, I noticed the warmer the engine got the worse it ran. I barely limped it back home. I had only gone perhaps a mile from the house. It will sit and idle fine, but stumbles/bogs when giving much over idle pedal pressure. Is this an EGR problem, or perhaps, something else? I have replaced all plugs/wires. Fuel pressure is perfect. New air cleaner. New inline fuel filter.:icon_shrug: Any thoughts?
