I think the 95's still had EGR valves and they're easy to clean (if they
have one). As for the idle quality, CLEAN OUT YOUR AIS (aka: IAS) Solenoid
and port. The IAS is located on the rear of the throttle body (Big Black
Thingy). Remove the two Torx-25 screws and the connector, slide it out,
spray some TB Cleaner in the port as well as on the plunger (don't turn the
plunger...just wipe it off with a rag and TB cleaner). Reinstall it and try
it again.

Subject: DML: Intake backfire, EGR question, Low RPM
Hey Everyone,
1. Every since I installed my FABM, I have been
getting a loud pop from the intake under hard
acceleration. What's causing this and how can I
correct it?
2. Is there a way to test a EGR valve to see if it is
operating correctly?
3. My truck idles at around 400 RPM's after warming up
and as low as 250 - 300 after driving for about 10
minutes. Is this a problem and if so, how can I
correct it? Seems that most Daks operate around the
600 RPM mark. It occasionally acts like it might want
to stall if I get on it and then push the clutch in.
For example, revving through a parking lot in 1st at
about 3500 RPM's, then pushing the clutch in to stop
as I approach the exit.
The Dak is a '95 V6 5speed CC with 75000 miles. Mods
include FABM, Dynomax Race Magnum Muffler, Pennzoil
Synthetic oil, K&N oil filter, Champion Truck Plugs
(soon to be replaced, but still looking great after
20,000 miles), 180 Degree thermostat.
I appreciate all the knowledge from the list. I've
been a member for 3 - 4 years now, mainly an observer.
Thanks,
Chad Clifton
