Ok, so for awhile I have had a check engine light on, an sence I was gunna swap my engine I said screw it.. but the swap never happend, An Its time to fix it, I checked the code an its 71, egr system, So I figured its the egr valve, cause i have 139800 miles .. I went to autozone to pick on up, an they said it was going to be $155, an I was Like WHAT.. I didnt think it was going to be so much. Any one that has replaced it how much have you paid, and from where.. Thanks for any info or help..

have you tried cleaning the valve?

i would still try to clean it...most the time its just stuffed with carbon and people go buy a new one costing alot of money....so i would try it

Ok, not that any one cares, but I figured out it wasnt the egr valve. As I just bought the book, I was looking through it at the pics, not havign the vacum peace to test if the egr is good or not, i was looking at the pics. It showed poping off the top of the vacum sensor or somthing for the egr system, an a lil filter .. I poped that off an xcheck the filter an it was dirty an coated in black, So i cleaned that out, Also the biggist thing i think, was the tube going form the egr vacum sensor to the egr valve was riped or toar what ever you prefer... But after doing that, then properly re-setting it, It was cleared an been running good with no problems... thanks for the help guys. >>

yup cleaning it helps.. >>

Ok well this really sucks.. I was at my buddies yesterday building a shed, as I was leaving I backed out of his driveway, witch has a very nice steap drivway with a nice bump at the bottom, And I pretty made bottom out an skid on it, but then I looked as I got into the road my check engine ligfht just came back on. So Im guessing the comp figured out the egr is still bad, or i just messed somting up. Tomorrow Im goign to check the code again, But I have a feeling its the egr.. SO, who ever replaced theres, where did you get it an how much. Thanks alot.
