What's up...
I drive a 2001 Eclipse GT Spyder 3.0 and I've been having EGR related codes which caused misfires and low surging idles. So I searched and found a post on removing the vacuum hose that runs to the EGR and letting it hang there and to wait like 3 days. Well I went and unhooked the vacuum hose and reset my codes. I started the car and magically, after warming up, it idles at 900-1000 RPM (500 before), sounds smoother, drives nicer(hesitated before), and doesn't surge when warmed up.
My question is..Can I just leave that hose hanging there? Or is there any way I can bypass that valve? My car runs better with the hose off.
Why does it run better and can I leave it off?
THANKS!!
