Default 95 5.8 XLT EGR bad?
My 95 is giving me fits!
Engine idle is great one minute and then terrible the next. I got info that the egr was ddropping and was the problem.. here's the question: the large down tube to the manifold wants to turn when loosening.. is that a good thing or bad??
HELP!!

Bad thing! The EGR tube needs to be tight and snug. It might be cracked....replace it and things will improve.

Sounds like I have a bad thing! Not what I wanted to hear, I was hoping the tube going down fit into another fitting..
