Steve,After working my way through the egr system, I found a faulty diaphragm in the BPT valve and a carbon plug in the intake manifold where the egr tube joins the manifold. That eliminated the egr code.
However, I still have an intermitent misfire problem. This occures while idling with the engine under load. Remove the load from the engine and the misfire doesn't seem to occur. Performance is good. Mileage is good. (the last tank of fuel I averaged 27.6MPG) Everything seems to be normal with the exception of the pesky misfire. At this point no codes are being set.
I have used carb cleaner to help identify any induction air leaks. At this time I haven't located any vacuum leaks.
Any ideas as to where I might continue looking for a cure for this problem?
Thanks Ed
