My car started having a real issue it is burning through and blowing holes in hoses connected to the EGR valve pressure sensor and it sounds like it has about 1000 pounds of pressure from the noise. I have not yet pulled a spark plug to see if it is white so as to indicate over heating but this all started when I had drive for a about 70 miles at around 75 mph on cruse control when it was used to just city driving. Thanks
