It is showing 31.3 on the longft1 sensor on my obd2 scanner an the EGR says it has a bad ground or bad five volt wire. I put the new EGR on last week an this started yesterday. While driving down the road it will stall like it is trying to shut off but not shut off like it is running out of gas. But it has a full take and has good fuel pressure.

Hello,

When you replaced the EGR did you use an AC Delco unit? Also, did you clear the codes and have they come back? After market parts can fail quickly causing the engine to stall if the valve fails to close.

Please let us know.

Cheers, Ken

Yes, I did clear the codes and I did put an AC Delco part. Now it is stalling when I turn a corner.

Does it only stall when you are turning or does it stall when you come to a stop? We should run the codes.
