[Shotimes] EGR passages/CE light

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Don:
 What is the number of your error code? You got good info from everyone so
far. I also struggled with the EGR code and finally fixed it. DO NOT apply a
vacuum pump to the DPFE. It will blow out the transducer. It is setup to
only measure a tiny difference in vacuum between the two input hoses. Also
several people have found carbon deposits in the rubber hoses or up into the
metal nipple it self on the DPFE body.
