This $$$$ is starting to make me doubt the CDI/and lovers here... I was under impression that "codes" would NOT shut the CDI down ( although car IS drive able- in my Limp/no turbo) ...

OR- I go ALL IN... and pay for proper/EGR/Swirl flap delete... which would hopefully make my future experience more enjoyable... and eliminate many issues/codes...

That is why I asked the ? as the title of this ...

I expect to fix things on OLDER car--- just don't want re-occurring crap issues/limps
Egr valve clean is easy and cheap.....it takes 30 minutes to complete.
