EGR Valve

  1. Look through opening in EGR valve body. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Increase engine speed and check whether valve shaft moves when engine reaches 3500-4000 RPM under no-load condition.
  2. If shaft does not move, remove valve and manually check valve movement. If valve appears okay, check vacuum lines for leaks. Clean or replace valve if it does not operate properly.
    NOTE: When cleaning EGR valve, DO NOT wash in solvent or degreaser, or permanent damage to valve diaphragm will result.
  3. Press valve diaphragm and inspect valve seat area. Inspect valve inlet and outlet for deposits. Clean as necessary. Blow clean with compressed air. Recheck valve operation by applying 8 in. Hg vacuum with hand vacuum pump.
