Re-installed original EGR Valve for a Smooth Idle, in my B21A 200 1981

Hello All,

Just to update you . . . The EGR Valve seemed to be sucking Air from around the shaft, causing a rough idle and hard starting. It was from a much newer car than my 1981. I removed my original EGR Valve because the Diaphragm seemed to leak. I resealed it with Red RTV. Hey, it still works perfectly and the idle is very smooth.

I was told by an Independent Shop Owner that it was my Brake Booster, though it was overhauled and tested.
