[QUOTE="DPP, post: 1588558, member: 36296"] I have a 1994 3.8 L V6 mustang and have got it running pretty good, but I have an issue with it spiking rpms every now and then on slow downs--driving 40-60 mph and then decelerating in speed zone hanges. The EGR differential pressure sensor threw a error and so I put the smoke machine in the sensor line to see if there was a leak and I noticed that smoke creeps out around the nut where the EGR tube connects to the exhaust manifold. Correct me if I am wrong, but a leak here wouod allow unmetered oxygen to get into the motor to cause the rpm spikes, correct? My question is how should I go about getting a tight and sealed fit of the EGR tube onto the connection site of the exhaust manifold? The EGR tubes are not sold anymore and I actually had mine repaired, so a new tube is out of the question. Thanks for the feedback. Dustin [/QUOTE]
