Ported EGR Valve
- Check vacuum hoses for correct routing. Connect a vacuum gauge directly to EGR vacuum source. With engine running, open and close throttle quickly to at least 1/2 open position. If gauge reading indicates vacuum, EGR vacuum supply is okay and vacuum port is open.
- If gauge reading indicates no vacuum, EGR vacuum port is plugged or restricted and should be cleaned. Disconnect vacuum hose at EGR valve, and plug hose. Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to EGR valve.
- Start engine. Apply 6-10 in. Hg to EGR valve. Engine speed should drop at least 100 RPM or stall. Vacuum should not drop more than 1 in. Hg in 30 seconds. Reconnect EGR vacuum hose.
