If what you're selling is correct, then why use exhaust gas? Why not
just create a vacuum leak? Because lean is not the answer to
preventing NOx formation. In fact, leaning out the mixture will
increase combustion temp and NOx production.

The engine dies when EGR is applied at idle because the cylinder is
filled with inert gas that won't burn. Not because it's lean. That's
the way EGR works. No agreeing to disagree. It is what it is.

There you go again, the jealous, really jealous, I can't believe
how jealous this little draft dodging coward schizophrenic psychopath
liar hiding in Vancouver who's only way to get attention is to make a
fool of it's self. With an obsession the other perverts here. With
extreme jealous ranting over my documents/possessions, committing
forgery over many of them proving I'm an American man. You remind me of
a little rat dog, like a Mexican Chiwawa with it's senseless barking, me
too, me too. And the poor thing, you're too girlie to take
responsibility for yourself again, by signing your statement like a man.
You're not worth any more time when a cut and paste this same

Re: cold start sluggishness
 

Yeah - that is what I was thinking on the whistle. I will check all
the temp controlled vacuum lines and switches first. They may be two
separate problems that happen to coincide. I guess the reason I
figured my choke wasn't the culprit is that at idle it runs perfectly
throughout the warmup period and the bogging doesn't start happening
until the whistle begins and then goes away when the whistling becomes
quieter again at operating temperature.
