Will Engine misfire cause EGR, & o2 codes?boarder 01-10-2008, 07:46 AM Trying to fix a very slight engine stumble at higher rpm and under load. 1998 4.3. Getting a 0300 code(random misfire) & also EGR, and both o2 sensors showing codes, as well as a vacuum code. Replaced Plugs, wires, cap,rotor, pickup coil, fuel filter and fuel pump recently. My question is: Is it possible that this misfire/stumble is caused by egr or o2. Or vise versa, the egr and 02 codes are resulting from a misfire. Thanks in advance. mike2004tct 01-10-2008, 11:30 AM Trying to fix a very slight engine stumble at higher rpm and under load. 1998 4.3.

I had a similar problem with a V6 Pontiac engine to what you describe. A faulty EGR valve caused stumbling at a steady pace/speed. You can remove the valve, and check the pintle for a buildup of carbon. It may cause the valve to not close properly. MT-2500 01-10-2008, 11:33 AM What are all of the the code numbers? How ramdom is the missfire? Full or part time miss or dead miss? What cylinders are missfiring? A egr valve prblem can give a miss and mess up O2 sensors. I would check out egr valve for carbon build up and not closing to start with. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
