The latest OBD II Scan which I had performed on my 1995 GMC Jimmy revealed a EGR Valve error.
"Pintle 10 degrees out of adjustment"
Can you tell me what are the long range effects to
my Engine if I can not replace the EGR Valve
immediately and still drive the vehicle ?

Thank you

Higher emissions and lower fuel mileage. However you may not need to replace the EGR. You could remove it. MANUALLY clean it and then run a test cycle on it. Then reset the ECM so it relearns the system. Then see if the error still exists.
