I don't see how an egr would effect your bad gas smell. I'm pretty sure that is a different problem. Did try replacing the hose to the evap canister? Try that first, if you have pure fuel going into the lines and canister then you have serious problems. But if it is clogged the fumes will concentrate and look like mass amounts of fuel building up. Replace the line, a pain in the azz i know, and then tell us what is going on. Also make sure that there is a line going to the canister that may be a problem too. Just did the same repair on my friends Dakota. Too save money on the egr try cleaning it first with brake cleaner. Brake cleaner has more pressure and cleans better than carb cleaner. Watch your eyes, trust me! LOL

 

I havnt tried the hoses yet.

Scoggin Dickey didnt have the canister in stock, so I said screw it for now, Ill just mess with the hoses. Well, when making a short trip down the road, code 32 pops up (along with the terrible smell) so I just put the two together.

Ill rip off the hoses tomorrow if I have time and see whats up.

BTW, in order to get the EGR valve off, am I going to have to take the whole damn intake off? Almost looks like it.
