Would this cause the car not to start If the EGR VALVE is bad
EGR Valve
yes
AnswerThe 3800 (RPO: L27) was not equipped with an EGR Valve for the model year 1992 only. The 3800 (RPO:L67) does have an EGR valve.The valve should be located on the driver's side on top of the manifold.A bad EGR valve can keep your car from starting and running properly.
Yes, the EGR valve, or port EGR
What kind of valve? Exhaust valve? EGR valve? PCV valve?
The cost of replacing an EGR valve varies with the make, model and location of the car. An EGR valve for a 1996 Lincoln Town Car is about $160.
If the egr valve was stuck open, the engine wouldn't idle. If the egr valve was stuck closed you may hear excessive pinging (spark knock) and in most vehicles, the check engine light would illuminate.

It is a common suspect in contributing to rough idle. See "Related Questions" below for more about the EGR valve, from testing to replacing.
Yes, if the valve is bad. With the car idling, move the EGR valve diaphragm with your fingers. The engine should quit or want to quit. If it doesn't do this, it could be plugged up. Remove the EGR valve and clean any carbon deposits in the valve and also do the same on the engine side where the EGR valve is connected. If the EGR has never been removed before, it will probably have carbon buildup.
Blocking off an EGR valve can make the car run rough. The fuel mileage can suffer as well, since the car is designed to have the EGR valve operable.
