How Long Can I Drive With Egr Pipe Busted

[newlexman]

Hey Guys,

I am experiencing the symptoms you all describe with the flutter while reving the engine and i am pulling a code 71, egr failure with the check engine light on so i am assuming i have the busted pipe. I also experience exhaust smell coming in the car at different times while driving. I wanted to know what am i hurting by driving the car this way until i get the money to address the repair. Will the car eventually not run or am i hurting one of the systems in the car.

Thanks
