Is it only when cold? My caddy did that when it was cold my egr was bad. I would try to clean yours first before replacing it.

EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve. What year car/engine are you talking about?

The 4.1, 4.5 & 4.9 use a vacuum operated, electronicly controled EGR. It is much different than what is usually discussed here in cleaning EGR's. You need a FSM to diagnose the solenoid and the system. Dont just throw an EGR valve at it as the control valve or the solenoid might be bad.

There are a couple other possible causes for lag... Fuel filter or clogged cat, for example. The fuel filter is something you can throw at it, as it doesn't cost much, and is often neglected anyhoo. Also make sure your throttle cable isn't binding or anything like that. Silicone spray is your friend if it is.

(You guys really should brush up on your Ebonics....)

It's to the rear (firewall side) of the TB. Go to the Tech Tips section. There is a thread on How To Clean The EGR (with pics).
