    Replaced EGR Valve now she won't idle and dies

    Check Engine light is on, how do I get the codes with out a reader? I put in a new EGR and then the idle went too low and the engine shuts off. I unplugged the battery after replacing the EGR and drove around for ~30 minutes to try and let it reset itself in "Normal" driving conditions to the new EGR. Still won't idle correctly (goes below 500 and shuts down).

    I put the old EGR back in and no difference. I don't think I knocked anything else bad?

    " You have to turn the key to ignition ON and then LOCKED, NOT to accessory, and you have to do three times and end on Ignition ON. Do it four times, or more, it won't work, mess it up, turn it off and take the key out and wait a few seconds before trying again. You need to do the Key LOCKED-ON-LOCKED-ON-LOCKED-ON within 3 seconds (that figure for total time varies, it was longer for my older Chryslers). "

    Try this.....

    Yeah IAC Code. Think the old EGR was covering it up or maybe I bumped it? I did unplug it but I plugged it back in and made sure it was locked together? I'm picking up a new one later today just not sure why it happened at the same time?

    OK, dropped in the new IAC, cleared the codes and good to go. Not sure the dilly, but I'll re-install the New EGR soon and see what happens.
