Plastic line that goes to the EGR Valve comes from a tree of vacume lines. Which lines suck and which ones blow? Also "when" do they engadge? Cold, warm, wot, all the time...? I think I have some vacume issues.

The EGR valve should remain closed while the engine is cold and at idle...It should only open once the engine has warmed up and is running at part-throttle...

The only thing that should "blow" is yo mama ...

By definition no vacuum line blows. The new search feature is pretty lame but it did come up with this post http://www.californiafords.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=011305

Thats a good link...

Yeah, JDUB have you checked the EVR?(EGR Vacuum Regualtor)*see diagram in above link...

Let us know if the actual EGR valve was the problem...

How do I 'check' it? I know I can just replace it but is there another way to test it to see if that is the culprit?
