I suspect that I may have some issues with my EGR given an OBD code I saw before. Is it possible that it might prevent the engine from starting at all (cranking but not firing) as I'm experiencing now? Perhaps by being stuck in the wrong position?
I'm thinking that may be possible since you can kill the engine (when running already) by manipulating the EGR as is done during a smog test for instance, although admittedly that is a different situation as there are no exhaust gases to recirculate with the engine not firing. But maybe that messes up the AFR?
What would be a good way to tell if it does that, short of replacing it?
TIA
