Fixkick,
I was having a slight acceleration issue that I tracked to the EGR valve. I purchased the new valve and the car runs fantastic. The acceleration issues went away. However, what I see happen is that the fuel economy dropped from 28.5 to 26.5. Like it was running lean due to the air leak. When I check the fuelly.com website, other owners show about 26.5 as average for a 95 tracker 4x4.
My question is should I be getting higher MPG? Or, is the car now running more optimal with the working EGR valve? Or, did I get a bad EGR valve? I've seen you post articles that this model should get near 30 MPG.
thanks,
John
