EGR System

  1. Using a 3-way connector, connect a vacuum gauge to EGR vacuum hose. Start engine and run at idle speed. See Fig 1.
  2. With coolant temperature below 86°F (30°C), vacuum gauge should indicate 0 at 2000 RPM. When engine is warm, low vacuum should be present.
  3. Disconnect vacuum hoses from pipe E and F of VSV. Run engine at idle speed. Blow air into pipe F checking that VSV closes.
  4. Increase engine speed to above 1700 RPM. Blow air into pipe F checking that VSV opens. Reconnect vacuum hoses.
  5. If system operates as described, it is functioning correctly. If not, test individual components and repair or replace as necessary.
