I have a CHevy 1500. I replaced the EGR valve and now it wont start unless I have foot on gas and idles very low. I don't know why. Before I replaced truck was fine.

Recheck the EGR valve if its closing if not it will cause a massive vacuum leak not able to idle and sometimes no start-backtrack your work
