The PCM controls the EGR valve, so the EGR position sensor tells the PCM what position the EGR valve is in, so it can control the EGR valve and ake other necessary adjustments.
No, the catalytic converter is downstream from the EGR valve so it has no effect on it.
i have an 86 vw gti with the 1781cc 8v engine and to my knowledge it doesnt have a egr valve you might have a different engine code but mine has no egr valve so good luck finding it
tell me where is the egr valve located please the egr valve is usually located on the top right of the intake manifold on top of the engine so if your facing the engine, look down to your right
Egr valve is for emissions it reduces nox so will not be harmful to engine
Some vehicles dont have EGR Valve... I have a 90 Caravan, same engine as yours, basically the same thing as what you have and it has the EGR valve, then again, same engine in my 92 Dodge Spirit and it has no EGR Valve... the EGR is just mainly an emissions thing to help keep down on air polution. If yours did have the EGR Valve, they are really easy to spot, its on the left of the throttle body and the EGR Valve even says EGR right on top of it, so if you do have the valve you will know it very easily with or without any book or diagrams.
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve opens when vacuum is applied. The EGR vacuum solenoid opens and closes the vacuum supply to the EGR valve when it is commanded to do so by the ECM (Engine Control Module).
geo metro had a problem with the egr valve going bad causing the # 3 exhaust valve to burn, which could cause a lack of power in the engine performance. if this exhaust valve was burnt due to a faulty egr valve the new egr valve could have gotten clogged again causing a check engine light to reappear.
the vacuum switching valve that run the valve are a common problem they are intermittent stuck closed so do not operate the valve
SIGN UP FOR ALLDATA.COM TO BE SURE. IT IS SO WORTH YOUR TIME AND TROUBLE. T HEMPLE there is no egr valve in a 1992, the manual says so
the egr valve is usually located on the top right of the intake manifold on top of the engine so if your facing the engine, look down to your right
Hi The majority of EGR valves are located on the manifold,when a fault occurs with the EGR the valve may not be the problem quite often it is due to a split or perished pipe on the EGR so it is advisable to check the vacum pipes first. Hope this helps with your problem
