The plunger, in addition, was making clicking noises which, when I checked out a new one, it should not. I think it just plain broke. Good to know. Spent about 6 hours multimetering everything and looking for what could still be causing the codes. Noticed teh idling was not as rough as it was shortly after replacing sensor.

Gave up, drove home, commuted to work a couple times after making appt at shop to have it fixed and the check engine light went off. The moral of this story? We're going to be changing out the EGR valve here.

This regulates the flow of exhaust gases in the intake side of the engine to control knocks emissions by lowering combustion temperatures inside of the motor. If this fails, it can create a rough idle, because the exhaust gases are getting in at a time that they are not designed to do so or they are getting too heavy of a flow of those gases.

The EGR valve is located here on the back side of the intake manifold. Move the vacuum line at the top of the EGR—you may have to twist this a little to get it to free up.

We'll unclip that and move it off to the side. We'll then move this vacuum line next, and we'll use a pair of needle nose pliers to reach down there. Twist that line a little. Remove the twelve millimeter nuts going into the studs on the intake manifold at the top of the EGR valve with a wrench.

We use a ten millimeter sock and racket to remove the two bolts going into the EGR tube at the bottom of the valve. We've found that it was easier to remove the passenger side bolt with a ten millimeter stubby wrench and some penetrating oil. We did have the driver side bolt break, however, it broke off in the portion of the valve we'll be replacing. We'll just have to be sure to use a new bolt when it goes back in. Here we have our old part that we removed from our vehicle and our new part from 1AAuto.
