well I think I found what the problem was after I went out and bought a 100 $ part.. DAMNIT!
I had needed custom work on the exhaust and they CUT the EGR metal pipe and linked it to the cat with a "high temp" rubber hose... the first hose melted, this one melted... I am annoyed. someone please verify for me that the EGR tube is metal for a reason. is if possible to use rubber/ he's telling me the engine is running hot. over 15K in this car I HIGHLY doubt the temp is a problem(abnormal) I think if I had a metal to begin with I want a metal or better this time. you know? I feel like pulling the guy aside and saying "if you were going in for a heart transplant, would you want an equal human heart, or a subversive chicken or lamb heart?" I mean, what gives! if I didn't love this car so much... phew.... *vent off. but seriously.. anybody know if the EGR SHOULD be metal? and maybe if every EGR on the planet is metal?? I don't like being told it's my fault when I pay to have a job done and get the "rubber" shaft... you know what I'm saying?
