The EGR is perfectly intact of carbon, so look like the passagewats. I thinking when I removed the air control valve it was full of carbon; could it be the carbon of air control valve who block a passage or not?

I made check the fuel pump on friday, they told me it was ok. This week-end I change the fuel filter, and check what could be bad on the fuel line. Fisrt thing I found was a lost wire on a sensor on the right of admission pipe (reconnected), I found also a pipe from the fuel line disconnected ( reconnected, well done for the garage who test the pump and didn't see it) I found a bucket behind the left rear whell with line to go to the fuel tank but not connected ( not reconnected yet). After this the car start good with normal rpm when cold, run good without check engine. On hot restart the engine go to 3000 rpm without check engine light off. I joint the photo of the differents elements for your understanding because I don't know the english name.
