    EGR cooler control ?'s

    ok thx. Your diagram does not show the factory installed check valve at the egr cooler either. My diagram is very close to what yours reads. The diagram, on my core support, does not, match the vacuum hoses on the engine the factory has installed.

    Towed/Toad

    Yes, there is a lot of good information in there. There are also things that happen and go on that are not in the owners manual, even if you are following the manuals, Owner, Shop, ect. This is what I am always looking for.

    Mine used to do the same thing. Locked the car whenever you closed the trunk. Hated that! Almost locked the keys in at a fuel stop. I had left the keys in the ignition, the wife was in the car, got something out of the cooler (we were on a road trip, have to have cool drinks available)...
