100% correct. - jcb47769ExplorerNo CEL but EGR is disconnected at the moment. It was glowing before I disconnected it though. Do 1994 e350s get check engine light though?

On a gas eng it would indicate a lean condition.
If it has been a long time since the 02 sensor has been replaced, I would do so.
They get lazy and cause poor performance way before they're so bad it triggers a CEL. - Edd505ExplorerThat have a heat riser by chance? If it does it's sticking.

Bill - ernie1Explorer IIYeah I"ve seen that in my 1989 E350 that also got the tail pipe beet red and blistered the paint on the side of my rv. Problem? The O2 sensors were bad which caused the gas to flow heavily into the catalytic converter and finally caused the internal portions to fall apart and plug up. Result was lack of power and 4mpg.
- BluegrassBillExplorerNormal. Be sure its the gasket and not a cracked exhaust manifold. Cracked manifold very common for a 460. Usually passenger side rear.
