Rav 4 lack of low end power

[Rig Pig]

Just been messing around with my old D4D rav 4, it's always been a bit gutless, I thought I'd have a play round to see if blanking the EGR made any difference - it's like a different car with the blanking plate in! The old valve must be leaking or stuck open.

Get it carbon cleaned too and youl save fuel and it will be faster too

I would have a look at the MAP sensor as there is a good chance that will be properly gummed up too if the EGR has been messing about.
