The new EGR gasket was 4 times as thick as the old one! And swapped on a new hose clamp for the intake. I let it idle for a few minutes turned on the defroster, headlights, and no rear defroster, ran the car 3 miles to where I work, and then drove home. No CEL and the car runs fine. wooo!


Oh a down note, our water pump for our house just bit the big one 2 hours ago and we have no water...hence the lateness of my post. Just one problem to the next.

I'll post again tomorrow to let anyone intersted know whether my CEL came back on or not.
