Hi guys, new member. Bought a 97 LHS that needed head gaskets. Tore it apart, started to put it back together and I hurt my back. Now, 2 months later, I am putting it back (lol) together. There are two vac hoses that go to egr valve on rear of rt cylinder head. 1 goes to EET solenoid, I have that 1 figured out, but there is one on the base of egr valve (rt against head) that I can't figure out. Have a chrysler shop manual and a haynes manual and cannot find a description. Can anyone help? I think I have all the hoses figured out for intake manifold, I dont believe it goes to it. Thanks.

 

Found it. It was hooked up to the other port on the EET lol. Duh.

 

Can a ripped EGR hose cause white smoke through exhaust?
My EGR hose has a rip and I get billows of white smoke through the tailpipes every now and then during start-ups.

 

not really that would be valve stem guides or worn piston rings things like that

 

White smoke on start-up could be a sign of a blown head gasket.
