EGR question..

[hottscennessey]

My supra is suffering from horrid throttle response and a ticking noise. This sounds like it could be comming from one of the two rear cylenders. Is it possible that this noise is from a leaking EGR cooler? Furthermore, could a leaking EGR cooler/Block off plates be the culprit of the horrid, horrid, horrid throttle response? I have no codes.

Ticking noise can certainly be caused by this.

Throttle response... that's tougher. It would have to be a really big leak to affect your turbo spool - if you even have a turbo. I can't imagine this affecting an NA engine much at all.

my CPS timing was off, causing the throttle response to be horrible, and the engine to sound like it had a dead cylender/EGR leak. I thought i did it to spec the first time, and the second time, but the thrid time was the charm.

Nice to see how this was resolved, makes it much easier for future members to find the solution!
