gday, is there such a thing on a vl called the egr valve.
Ive been told mine needs a clean up to get the carbon off it and it will stop my werid idle problems...been idleing strange ever since i got it, ive done a complete service, and tried other afm and oxy sensors and still no change, also car starts in the morning then runs then dies i have to hold it around 2000rpm for 20secs b4 it actually idles ok but only around 500rpm. give us a hand fellas cheers

Only thing I can think of would be the Oxy Sensor in your manifold... Only thing that would have carbon on it...
Did you do a search?
Have you got a VL workshop manual?

egr stands for exhuast gas recirculation, mainly found on diesel trucks and busses for them to comply with euro emmission laws

I think you mean the AAC valve. This is what controls idle speed. They can gum up with carbon and sh!t. It's on the rear of the plenum. Pull it off and clean it up with some carby cleaner.
If it won't idle when cold, check that air can pass through the "air regulator" valve at the front of the plenum.
