What you have is a vaccuum leak. Your car probably idles poorly now. My EGR didn't seal properly for a few mins and it did the same thing. It can be replaced I believe. Anyone have the part # or info how to replace it?

Yes, you will have an SES code. It can be cleared if you have or know someone with LS1edit.

How 'bout.... for the time being, just epoxy the brass thread insert back in with some JB Weld or similar?

You don't want that vacuum leak.... you'll run lean, it's "unmetered" air.

I used JB Weld when I was in your situation. Almost a year later it's still holding up.
