If it is stuck open it will stall the engine at idle or run really rough. Stuck closed won't really affect it.
yes
yes
Would this cause the car not to start If the EGR VALVE is bad
There is no way to tell exactly how many miles to the gallon will you loose with a bad EGR. It depends on the car.
The cost of replacing an EGR valve varies with the make, model and location of the car. An EGR valve for a 1996 Lincoln Town Car is about $160.
yes it will not only lose power it will run rough in some cases not run at all
Blocking off an EGR valve can make the car run rough. The fuel mileage can suffer as well, since the car is designed to have the EGR valve operable.
AnswerThe 3800 (RPO: L27) was not equipped with an EGR Valve for the model year 1992 only. The 3800 (RPO:L67) does have an EGR valve.The valve should be located on the driver's side on top of the manifold.A bad EGR valve can keep your car from starting and running properly.
The car will not operate well with out the egr valve but it can. Disabling it depends on year make and model.
yea you should change it
No a bad egr will cause surging at idle or bucking while under light acceleration.
Yes, the EGR valve, or port EGR
