k heres the problem...

my car has a hard time jus reaching 30mph and thers air/exhaust??? leaking from this thing rite here.sorry..i dont know what its called
[IMG][/IMG]

it burnt the plastic in the back too..i didnt see any wires melted


heres another pic of it



i thot that the old one was broken so i got a new one but its still doing the same.
anyone know how to fix this problem?

the car is a 94 camaro v6

 

looks like there should be some kind of aluminum gasket in between them, is the hot air coming out from where you had the [ in red?

 

yes sir..
k to be exact...its that flat part jus under the top line of the [
thers alredy a gasket there but its still leaking for some reason

the car wont even move anymore...when i give it gas the rpms jus drop really low or the car dies out
im thinking maybe the wires jus have a bad connection and its not making the egr work...oh yeah.i jus found out that thats what its called...but idk how to check if they really do work. ive used the test light and so far only one of the plugs work...
i dont wanna rely on that but its giving me some thought
i tried the search button but most people jus block it off, clean it, or take it to a shop. i dont wanna bring it to a shop cuz thatll be alot of money but im gonna have to start leaning to that decision...damn...
