I respectively disagree Jeff.... An opened EGR will cause a rich condition I respectively disagree Jeff.... An opened EGR will cause a rich condition

How can adding burnt exhaust gas richen the air fuel mixture ! It is an inert gas , it can't cause a richer mixture . Adding exhaust gas to the air fuel charge cools down the combustion camber temp. to reduce NOX That's it . Helps stop spark knock ,pinging .

Thanks, Paul - perhaps I need to clarify - 98 Sebring 2.5 - Did not mean to imply that egr was the fix/cause, only that it was the ONLY way I can get it to idle down. All scan data is within parameters with the exception of the downstream O2 sensor and it's maxed out constantly. Could this be the cause?

Blah, Blah, Blah, Having access to information that I do not, does not make you the smartest - however you are, by far, the rudest and most disrespectful person I have ever encountered on any help site.
Your credentials mean nothing to me - I was a shop owner myself, in the industry for over fifty years and have likely forgotten more than you will ever know and have seen way too many "ASE Certified Master Mechanics" that I wouldn't trust to change my oil.

I'm just trying to help a neighbor out and since I no longer have access to Shop Key or Mitchell Repair I have to rely on help sites like this. While that may leave me ignorant it does not mean that I lack intelligence, nor do you have the right to berate me.

But you did imply ! I suspect the control valve/solenoid? but have no idea how to test it ! I refuse to get it to a battle of words with an unarmed person ! But you did imply !
