Ok, so I am having and issue with my car and im trying to figure out what it is so I know exactly what to repair on it. My car has no pressure what so ever meaning; when I turn the car on to go to drive it, I can't. It doesn't go over 10 miles per hour and there is a very loud suction noise which leads me to believe its my egr vacuum. How would I know its the whole piece or if its just the hose that is messed up? I've heard multiple reasons why, but no definite answer and i'm looking for a more clear and concise answer in order to get the correct parts and fix it.

Try cleaning out the EGR valve/ports and have the exhaust system check for excessive backpressure to rule out the C/C
