thanks everyone for the input i really apreciate it . its been 4 days since i cleaned my egr ports and all the other stuff in that area and let me tell you it certainly makes a difference to the performance of the van. shes running so good im going to replace the broken imrc, and see if i can get it to run even better. oh and joe you must have a 98 or a 99 because the 3.8 in my 2000 dosent look anything like the one in your pic ....thanks though |
