Just out of curiosity, is the EGR valve the same one as the Grand National ?

One other question, do these normally go bad ? Is advisable to have one as a spare if you can find one ? Are they available as an aftermarket at an auto parts store ?
Thanks

Lots of sites still list them so you would have to call and see if they actually have them .... GM / Delco have discontinued them.
Seems like with Delphi going bust a lot of the AC Delco stuff will be discontinued roumers have it they stopped making the spark plugs, batteries are made by anohter manufacturer and many other Delco products will be discontinued very quickly as they are closing down many of the plants due to chapter 11

I am using Eric Marshalls chip that disables the EGR function. Being a novice here, am I correct that the EGR being disabled, I would have problems with passing emissions ?
Second question, even though it is disabled. Is it a good idea to buy an extra EGR valve since they are discontinued ?
Third, do they go bad often ?

Hi,
I think if you poke around a bit, you can still find an EGR valve for one of our cars.As to whether you need one, that's a different issue. My high miles car's valve is still working fine. What's the issue, high NOX? Anyway, if push gets to shove, you could call my AC/Delco supplier in Houston,XCEL Parts.(713)996-9200. I bought a couple of boost control solenoids from them, after everyone said they were unavailable, so I guess they have,or had, some backstock.Regarding the valve, AC/ Delco ONLY,don't even think about an aftermarket. They have these stupid shims that you have to install to calibrate them, and from my experience, the cars flunk the test anyway.I put on the correct part, and voila, NOX is down to under 100 PPM,CAT willing. Good luck with things!
