Okay... here goes.
My car is a 2000 SVT, 40000 miles. I have a kkm on it and thats about it. I change the oil regularly. about 10000 miles ago I had a problem where the car would start but would not Idle. If I put my foot on the gas it would run, but thats it. I checked the throttle body and sure enough it was coked up. I cleaned it thouroughly and reinstalled. That fixed it. Now its back allready, also the car is hesitating. Bad. I figure the carbon build-up is caused by the EGR, thats the only thing I can think of. But what could be causing the hesitation. I just cleaned the Air filter. I will admit though that it still has the original fuel filter. could this be the problem. I would also like to know if I was to make an EGR block off valve, might this hurt the car?? thanks for any replies
