Ever had an EGR valve go bad?

I just changed the EGR on my 94 4runner. It got me to thinkin that I've never had one go bad before.
Have you personally ever had one go bad on one of your rides?

Yes, seen a few bad EGR valves.

Many bad EGRVM's.

by bad you mean not open and close?

possibly the case.

but often one may fail, when a leak in the seal develops.

to verify, you can equipp a smoke tester to see the leaks

Every Toy I my family has owned that is over 12 years old has had the Control thing give it up. The one on my 4Runner is bad right now.

Yes I have seen EGR valves fail in the open position creating a very large vacuum leak and subsequently a very poor running condition, if the engine would run at all.
