YES, The EGR valve if opened at idle will (should) kill your car.

Block your EGR valve...come to the dark side...unless you live in CA and want to swap it back and forth every 2 years....

This would have been a redundant post as for some reason I posted twice, however in my infinite wisdom I have decided to change this post and make it it's own private little post with it's own feelings and text and message and all sorts of things.

Neat huh?
