I have a 98 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2 V6 the check engine light has been coming on and it has been stalling on me in the park mode and at a stop. I went to advance auto and had a diagnostic done and it came up the EGR valve which we puchased and installed. It did not solve the problem and the gentleman at Advance said someone with the same make and model had the same problem and it didn't work. We checked the manifold absolute pressure and that is o.k. please help it's Easter weekend and I need my care for Monday for work??????? Thank You!

 

Already Tried:

It's a flow code then.The vehicle is safe to drive but the egr passages need cleaned out for the code to go away for good.I usually remove the egr valve and clean the hole between the intake and the valve.It is best to do it from both sides,egr and intake.On some engines the throttle body needs removed to clean it properly.Make sure you get a new throttle body gasket before removing it and clean any carbon from that area as well.
