well, i went to autozone today to get the codes read. its putting out two codes:
PO401 EGR Valve
-the guy testing it, told me that the EGR valve could be the problem with my rpms during the winter.
PO430 Catalytic Converter
-im definately not surprised, i've had a rotten egg smell come whenever i would drive fast. i knew i had to fix my cats. i remember reading on this forum that there is an 80,000 mile waranty on it. I called the dealership up, and it's true, but its covered and free of charge only if the cats are the problem. If not, then they will charge me $191.50 just to check!!!! This gives new meaning to the word stealership.
So... is that it?? My egr valve was the cause of all my problems? Another question, what the hell is an EGR valve? Is it expensive to fix? lol
