Answer

Well, the EGR just sends some of the exhaust flow into the intake to be reburned for emissions sake. Sometimes there's a problem with the valve, or related part that causes the valve to open when idling. It should only open when you're driving. The most common symptom with an EGR problem is stalling and rough idle at stop.

How do you take the governor off a Generation 3 Ford Taurus or Sable?

(This answer Covers the "Generation 3" 1996-1999 Series Ford Motor Company Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable.)The governor is electronically controlled. There are 2 governors on a Generation 3 Taurus/Sable. 1, Rev Governor. This prevents the engine from revving over 4,000 RPM. Anything higher than this at park or neutral can cause extensive damage to the transmission pump. 2, Speed Governor. This is in place because the vehicle can lose control quite easily at higher speeds without suspension modifications, appropriate tires, and driver skill.To remove or "Bump up" the governor limits the vehicle must be tuned aftermarket by a SCT tuning device and a trained professional tuner.
