I'm starting to see recurring issues with the EGR valve on 05.5-06.5 cars... just wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this problem.
symptom:
Runs like it's missing at all speeds (history of 505.01)
1) unplugging MAF will make it idle, but no power
2) unpulugging EGR will make it run better
3) replacing (tried cleaning didn't work) will return car to "normal"
I've seen this about ten times in the last month. cars vary from 46,000 miles to 140,000 miles
This also seems to fix random hot stall issues in the summer time.
