How do you tell if your EGR value is bad?

What are some of the issues that come up, besides the code on the computer.

You'll get ****ty gas mileage, but since it doesn't operate at full throttle, that won't be affected.

I was getting about 12mpg before I parked the car for winter.

Re: How do you tell if your EGR value is bad?

You might want to include some basic info like the year of your car, engine and tranny, along with info about any major mods. For all we know, you could be asking about a 30-year old F-Body

The impact may vary by "generation".
