I'd hate to bring up an older thread - but the issues in this thread is what I'm experiencing right now.

I had a P0402 while idling in traffic. Car still ran fine. Reset PCM. P0402 came back after a day or two. Again while idling. Car ran and idled fine.

However, yesterday, I went to start her up - went inside to grab something I forgot and went back outside....car stalled.

Started her up fine - idled fine until it settled down to about 600rpm, then it stumbled like it would stall, but then catch itself.

I have an older aluminum DPFE sensor housing - and its in bad shape from its appearance.

What does the car stumbling like that indicate?

The EGR Valve is a PITA to change, isn't it? I quickly read the Haynes book last night and I have to remove the nut from the rear manifold.

Or do I? Any help??

Thanks.
