does anyone know the diameter of that exhaust tube? So if you actually wanted to for some reason cut it and splice it back together, what would work for something like that? Or say you wanted to run some kind of metal flex hose in it's place but splicing the 2 ends back in for the proper fitment, what size would it be?
I had a miserable experience trying to break the bolts loose on mine. I ended up with 4+ hours into changing mine. ....and now 3 weeks later my engine code is on again.
Im not a mechanic but if it's clogged enough it will cause rough idle, hard start, excess fuel consumption, stalling, no start, no-barely-slow acceleration, possibly a limp mode as well depending on the vehicle, although I am not sure the older jeeps have limp mode.. I also heard some mechs say that changing the pcv valve might solve an egr code as well. That information came after some guys were getting the egr CEL code and a new egr didn't solve the issue, then one of them got rid of the code with the pcv changed. Also, that egr exhaust tube might even be the part that is clogged. These EGR valves are the dumbest thing ever.. They just throw carbon straight back into the engine. They will slowly cripple a vehicle over time as the clogg gets worse and worse so does fuel consumption and like you, acceleration issues crop up. The jeep engines for some reason burn a shit ton of oil, all this will cause that EGR system to plug up much faster as they exhaust being circulated back into the cylinder head will be dirtier... I honestly think these EGR valves are border line criminal to put on vehicles as it's just causing more vehicles to hit the scrap yard much quicker. If they truly had concerns over the environment, they would explore misting the liquid gas into a vapour form with ultra sonics to generate a 100% fuel burn efficiency, which they damn well know about but refuse to do it and would rather push garbage out like e-vehicles and trash like EGR systems that just cause way more problems than they solve.
The EGR would have to be stuck open to cause any drivability concerns. If it’s clogged and stuck closed, there will be zero adverse effects on drivability. Just an orange glow from your gauge cluster
My transmission dipstick tube seems way too stiff to move. Am I risking it getting snapped?

That’s why with parts like this that are in hard to reach places are usually replace with OEM to prevent having to do the repair again
This means you’re doing it correctly
I have a P0401 code. Could it be as simple as a clogged tube?
It sure could. You can try to actuate the EGR valve and see if you hear it clicking. If it does, the tube may be clogged
Ill use my scan tool to activate it and see if i hear anything, im still pulling the tube to clean it anyways
Quick question? Do you think a egr valve will stop your car from accelerating?

I noticed better acceleration after I replaced it. There was no hesitation after I gave it gas. I was surprised by the difference.
how long did you take?
Pull the whole fender off with the liner for more room. 5 bolts. Easy peasy.
Five bolts huh? lol
