1995 Chevrolet Blazer S10 review from North America
"When it runs, it runs like a charm"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My EGR valve is continuously plugged up with carbon.
General comments?
I have found a solution to this, there is a company called Tomco that sells an EGR gasket that comes fitted with a steel mesh screen that is supposed to keep all the extra carbon from reaching the pintle valve. I have ordered it, but have not had the chance to use it yet, I have been told by many that this works wonders!! And after cleaning my EGR twice a week since I bought the truck, and after putting at least $1000 into repairs, hoping ANYTHING would help, I am very excited to try this out! It costs approx. $10 US or $35 Can. This is a lot cheaper that replacing your EGR - TRY IT! It will save you money!
