3.8 questions

Let's say I wanted to take the engine, ecm and harness out of a 1990 toronado, cough... cough, my mothers toronado, and put it into my T/A. If I were to complete the swap and get the SES light to give me a code 63 ( egr flow check ) where would I start troubleshooting. I've read that there are 3 egr valves in this system but I can only find one, apparently there are also 3 egr codes also but I am only registering the 63. Does anyone here know of these egr systems?

Let's say I'm skeptical that you converted your 3rd gen to FWD...

EGR valves are for sPit on those cars once they have been carbon'd up usually servicing them wont do. Might want to check the tube from the exhaust and the connection at the intake manifold for carbon build up to while your at it.

Dang it all, now you've got me thinking about a Tornado 455 mid-engine swap...
