<div dir="ltr"><font face="Book Antiqua" color="#000000" size="2">I had to do the same thing when my water temp sensor (or maybe was it sender... it's so long ago now) went bad. James McColl's mechanic/buddy was explaining to me when I was up at Shannonville
once what the problem was. At the time I had this problem where the car gave me trouble starting and, like you guys are describing, I had to floor it to keep the engine alive. It got bad to the point where it would stall as I was driving it and, again, I'd
have to floor it to start like it was carburated or something. I explained the problem to James's mechanic/friend and he told me to swap the sensor (I'm pretty sure). He explained that the sensor being bad fooled the engine into thinking it was -40 degrees
or something stupid and it restricted the amount of air so you needed to open up the throttle to get more air. It went something like that. I doubt that's the problem Jon's having though.</font></div>

<div dir="ltr"><font face="book antiqua" size="2">To answer your question Jon, if I recall correctly ( and it makes the most sense) the smallest of the EGR tubes had the most blockage when I cleaned mine out although there wasn't much blockage overall AT ALL
in mine and my car has had a perpetual check engine for EGR since mile 0.5 or so. I think it was a small elbow that was about the width of a pencil between two rubber hoses and it had a little blockage but not much. I can take a look at the car when I get
home tonight and try to take a picture for you</font></div>

I've let SR20s sit for extended periods, and just about always had<br>
trouble getting them to start / idle. Holding the throttle wide open<br>
often gets them firing -- which makes me think they're prone to<br>
"flooding" but I can't think of any place in there for fuel to puddle.<br>
And then they seem to require some driving time to "clear out" what ever<br>
was bothering them. </p>

<p>You know, this jogged my memory. I am pretty sure I had the same issue when I installed my freshly built engine, my DET, and when we swapped my old engine into our LeMons car. Anyway, my point being that I had to do this with even a freshly built engine.
Strange. I thought it very strange at the time - it's something you'd expect with a carbureted engine.
