To me if the engine will not idel and stall once you have stopped, that points to an IAC (Idle Air Control sensor) which is located on your throttle body. The part is very easy to get to and changes out pretty quickly. Hope this helps. Thanks for an honest rating and for using FixYa!
Yeah, if your going to take it to a mechanic I always prefer the little guy as opposed to the national ones. Well I'm glad that it fixed it for you! Where did you find the part for $42.50 though because I had looked it up for you at AutoZone and it was $100.99? I need to shop where you do! Next time you are having problems just post something on here and someone will be able to help you save some serious $$$!Yeah, if your going to take it to a mechanic I always prefer the little guy as opposed to the national ones.

Peppy boys are fairly good at oil changes. Go back to the egr valve and clean out the passageways that go to it.If they are blocked, changing the valve will do very little. Also check that no debris has gotten into the new valve. Intakes generally don't leak oil because no oil is in an intake. But, check it for air leaks by spraying parting line with carb cleaner while running. If you see a change in idle speed you have a vacuum leak there.Personally though I'd do the egr before anything else. (I'm wrong sometimes, but I'm not able to be there to give it a good check out (a bit frustrating at times)

Glad to hear it's fixed...I know it sounds like "me too", but if egr cleanout did not work that would have been my next suggestion. Good job Keith!!!
