    Bad EGR valve?

    My contour is literally driving me crazy!!! I just got the misfire issue taken care of and now this EGR valve code pops up. I scanned it and deleted it and it came up again.

    I have taken my CSVT into Ford three times now and I have yet to get it fixed properly. This car has been fun and a money pit.
