Short history. PHH went out about month or so ago. Fixed that. CEL flipped on a few weeks later showing a code 71 (EGR) issue. Checked the usual suspects. Cleaned the EGR modulator and lines. Intake tube, etc. No more CEL for a few days. Then it came back on.
This time I removed the EGR modulator and just started down the list of things to check on it. I blew through the bottom of it and it gurgled water. Blew some out and smelled like coolant. Popped the top open, the filter is dry and almost zero water/coolant on the top end of it. So all the water is in the bottom diaphram part of the modulator. Called Cdan to get a replacement and asked him a few questions. Guess the only way coolant can get to that part is blown HG? Cdan and few other have came to that concensus based on what I told them.
Checked the oil dip stick to see if there was any coolant on it, and there was not. Just opened the radiator to see if anything was a signal there, looked good.
I just was seeing what you guys thought. I dont have the $$$ to have it done, and will have to do on my own (or at least I mean lack of a shop, got some good friends that will most likley help).
