These were my two questions:

"1. Any way I can get a look inside the valve to determine whether it is stuck open without taking the IM off?

2. I had asked before is there any chance the transducer electrical connection could be the problem and if so, how would I check?"

Still no answer to #1?

Re.#2, Based on replies, sounds like due to involvement of verifying a healthy transducer electrical feed, I should just proceed to pull IM to get at EGR valve, then open valve to see if it is stuck?

thanks
