99 Turbodiesel Egr Phenom

My car has been hesitating at part throttle. I noticed as of lately it has not. I decided to check the pressure regulator function for the egr and found 23mmHg going in and 0 coming out to the egr even at idle. So I decided to plug the line going to the regulator and leave the other line that goes to the egr in place. There now is no vacuum going to the egr at anytime. So I take it for a ride and drive it around to the post office and there is no code.

I did this before and there was a code. Brakes feel more responsive which I figured. So now I know what the part throttle hesitation was.

How did I get my egr disabled without setting a code? Is it because I lost vacuum gradually over time?

I am stumped but happy for sure!

The EGR system of these things are a pain in the a$$. Make sure yours is clean and make sure the sensor port is clean as well. Also check your vacuum connections going to/from the EGR solenoid.

Well, went on the highway and on came the code. I knew it was to good to be true. I hooked everthing up and cleared the code and everything seems to be working properly. I will have to see what vacuum I have where tomorrow.

Anybody know how the vacuum is suppose to look? I was thinking I should have 23mmHg going in and close to that on the other side when the egr is operable at idle and part throttle. Then down to zero when into the throttle.

Is that correct?

I did not feel the hesitation even after I hooked everything back up.

The EGR should always be closed (No vacuum) at idle and WOT.
