Default Anyone else have another one?

Not trying to hijack the thread, but think my car's EGR Valve just went bad. Anyone else have another one they're willing to sell?

Thanks,
David

Car has rough idle and low RPM (around 500-600), Scangauge (Yes finally got one) showing a P1163 code. The weird thing is the CEL is not on. I thought any DTC will throw the light. Anyway, it could also truly be the primary A/F oxygen sensor, but figure this is a cheaper and easier route to test. I plan to remove it today and see. Has 18x,xxx miles on it.

Oh yeah, MPG dropped from an avg of 67 to 62 this past week and I haven't changed my driving habits at all. The only reason it's still at 62 is because I had 300 miles on it @ 67 before I started having the hesitations. On a fresh tank, it's probably around 55 MPG at the rate it's dropping.

Car also feels like there's less power during city driving.

1163 is a "slow response, #1 02 sensor." Unplug the EGR connection and see if there is a difference.Yes you will get a CEL, you can clear it with your scangauge.
