Hello, you could try pulling it and the pipe off and cleaning it before replacing it. An egr is pretty expensive. When you go to clean it use Carb cleaner.

The timing may have jumped,Have the timing checked.

It still could be numerous other problems,so post back with details

If switching relays got the car started for you before, maybe you had a relay that was sticking. Check the fuel pump relay & the ASD (Automatic Shutdown) relay. Either relay will keep the fuel pump from working. Listen for the fuel pump when you turn the key on. It should run for a few seconds & then stop.

try your cars main fuse

if the cooling fans dont come on, it might need the fan relay replaced.
the relay is located on the frame rail right below the battery tray. the easiest way to accesss it is from underneath the car.

maybe a weak alternator, the voltage regulator may also be in the alternator, auto zone may be able to tell you weither it is or not, AND... they will test alternator for free as well.

Check your grounds. one passenger side to valve cover and one in front of battery to core support (radiator) last one is starter at bell housing. There may be more.

the cable may be adjusted too-much , try relaxing teh cable a bit and see if that helps

i had the same problem until i changed my water pump,so you might want to get that checked out

Hi there... with the radiator cap off, start the van and let it warm up. Once the thermostat opens you will see the coolant start to circulate in the rad. let it run for 10 - 15 minutes and add more coolant as needed. you will know when there is no more air because the coolant leve, won't go down anymore. Top up the rad and put the cap back on. make sure the overflow resevoir has coolant in it to the full mark and youre done. Hope this helps you out

i think the alternator/regulator is overcharging the battery. this explains the cd player turning on and off and the headlight blowing. overcharging also will boil the battery fluid down and trap explosive gases in the battery. when it got really hot because of the lack of fluid, the battery shorted out and ignited the gases in the battery. replace the battery headlight and alternator, and check the output of the system at the battery while running it should be between 13.6 and 14.5.

overflow/header tank? for cooling system YES most problems of cracking are either lack of anti freeze in system? or excesspressure of cooling system o/heat? causes expansion and possible weak joint? will crack ? or an impact / leverage to tank during work under hood ?

You have a broken cable, or one of its parts. You need to trace the cable from the "pull" back to where it splits to go to the left and right rear brakes, and finally to each rear brake. You will most likely need to get under the vehicle and for this you will need to jack it up. Please be safe, or if uncomfortable, take to a trained mechanic, that should be able to fix this for very little money.

If you choose to go it yourself, please check out this article.

if you look directly under the bumper just under the fog light you will see a bracket that holds a 13 mm bolt. undo that and pop the light out from the front of the bumper and replace the bulb. install is the reverse

are the fans turning on???? if this has ac turn it on high. fan should kick on instantly. good luck .....jimmy

Have you tested at the brake switch at pedal, for power in & out?

Try shaking (gentle pull and push ) the wiring harness just below the intake hose on the drivers side of the engine! Then try starting it. let my known if it doesn't work

Shake or gentle tug on the wiring harness and try starting the engine! I found that my problem was with the cam sensor wiring harness
