ok so i replaced a couple of the alloy heater hose spigots that screw into the head/intake manifold as they were corroded, while i was at it i cleaned out the EGR valve and put it back on and now the ute runs really rough, it dies at idle soon as you take foot of accelerator and when you have foot on accelerator to keep it going it seems to surge too. the EGR valve was connected originally when i took it off to clean and car was running fine like it always has,so i even tried blocking the EGR off and it made no difference,what could be going wrong was running fine and all i did was clean the EGR valve and replace the heater hose spigots so it must be the EGR valve but it runs the same (bad) weather its connected up or blocked off now can anyone help please as i dont want to take it to a mechanic to fix thanks

i did a search on removing rocker cover to replace gasket, and found someone saying you need to remove the carbi to get rocker cover off, is this true, from the photo in the post i cant see why you just cant lift the left side (opposite side of carbi) of rocker cover up a little, and slide cover to left a bit to clear the flange on the carbi before lifting the rocker cover up.

thanks for the info, now to find that bloody oil leak.............................

so what do all these hoses and valves do on these anyway, is it anti polution gear or what?

oh ok , i will take air cleaner off and check then, thanks

so i took the so i took the hose of the white elbow and yep you are correct the black non flexible line does fit straight into it, so now i just have to buy a longer piece of the rubber hose to reach the air cleaner actuator from the black/brown valve , and see how it goes, do you recon i will notice any difference in performance or running?, runs pretty dam smooth as it is so will be interesting to see. thanks for the info tho mate much appreciated.

oh ok well you may be able to get yours sorted out too once we get this sorted

ok thanks for the info, i knew someone on here would know whats going on when you say photo of white elbow do you mean the one i have circled and marked "1" ? if so i can take photo tomorrow during the day and post it up here for you thanks David

you mean yours is blocked off too where mine has the bolt? oh ok maybe i should replace the rocker cover gasket first and see if i can eliminate that then

like this?

oh ok thanks, but do you mean like this, if thats the case then the hose with the bolt wont fit as the hose with the bolt in it is much smaller diameter than the white plastic moulded on stub coming out of the PVS
