Throwing codes and hesitating!
My 97 hx has been having a random hesitation, 80% LOD, and usually up a slight incline, also throwing p0302,0302, and 1300
I know there are misfires but I have recently replaced cap,rotor,plugs, wires and cleaned my egr , still a bit stumped

Pull the plugs, compare them. Do a compression test. If they both check out ok, you will need to do more testing but you will need a good scan tool that will allow you to pull data from the ECU.

Plugs are good, and so is compression,it's a little low but the car has 185k so that to be expected, also low compression would affect the car all the time, this is random

Re: Throwing codes and hesitating!
Did you just clean the egr valve or did you also clean out the ports? With my 99 I had issues with a sticking egr valve that would run fine for awhile after cleaning it out but the code always came back, a new valve solved that issue.
From having two of these cars a 97 & 99 I have found that you need to clean out the egr system every 100k miles or at the same time as a timing belt change. It's a matter of when it will clog up not if it will.

I cleaned the ports, everything I could get to on the intake manifold, and any carbon build up I could find, was thinking about just disconnecting the egr valve and seeing if anything changes, I don't think it had ever been cleaned
Also when does the egr system actually activate, is it during accel or decel, or both?

Re: Throwing codes and hesitating!
And I keep experiencing a big loss in power, not that the car had any power to begin with but it really can't get out of its own way, also mpg while accelerating is down a few mpg. It has been very consistent for over 2 yrs so there is def a change
