Ok need some direction. 4.2 V6. Cylinder 4 misfire. Code for EGR insuffecient flow. Test lead to plugged egr ports. What kinda time would ya'all charge? I got the time for the upper plenum not sure how much to add for cleaning ports. Or should I remove the complete lower intake and clean on the bench?

My first time on this kinda repair. Thanks. Jeff.

we remove. as a rule we find that the restrictions are well imbedded in the intake. check tsb's on this. i believe there is an updated intake for this engine. it's not a recall just a redesign and should be done. as far as a time charge goes i would take into consideration the time it takes to remove console and the maintenance of the van. when vehicles (with applications like this one) are over 5 years old i will certainly look hard at the flat rate time. i do charge if add on's effect me in any way even as small as "extra" wire balls dropping down into my way........

Thanks Steve.

anytime man......have the snow birds started gathering for the long flight north yet?

I think they all left a month ago. At least thats when it died here. Didnt seem to have many this year.
