I think it's your EGR Valve. The EGR valve, or Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve, is a vacuum controlled valve which allows a specific amount of your exhaust back into the intake manifold.The EGR valve, or Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve, is a vacuum controlled valve which allows a specific amount of your exhaust back into the intake manifold. You'll know if your EGR valve is stuck or malfunctioning because your car will experience symptoms like rough idle and bucking on acceleration.
Did recently fit a new Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve to Renault espace and is now running like new But the supplier sent two EGr valves so have a spare for sale If anyone interested.?
what year? and how much are you looking for it?
Would the egr valve also cause a 1994 silverado 5.7 to miss?
yes Yes, if the exhaust gas recirculation valve is faulty, the truck will sound like it is missing, but to a mechanic it may sound like a rough idle or a vaccuum leak. I would recommend changing the EGR valve as a process of elimination, being that it isn't a big ticket item.
What is the device used in cars and trucks to reduce carbon monoxide emissions?
You're probably thinking of the Catalytic converter, which is in the exhaust system and looks like a canister usually under the car around the front seats, but there are many systems imposed on vehicles to reduce emissions, such as an exhaust gas recirculation valve which takes some of the hot air from the exhaust and runs it through the engine again.
What does EGR stand for and how do you know if your 1996 4x4 has it?
EGR stands for exhaust gas recirculation. It's a valve that opens up and runs some of your exhaust back through your engine again in the hope that some of the unburned gas will get burned the second time through. I'm not absolutely positive your truck has one but most likely it does. I suppose you could call an auto parts store and ask them. Exhaust Gas Recirculation. A standard EGR valve will be mounted on the intake manifold, typically a saucer like shape. An electronic EGR will have solenoids instead of the saucer shape. Depending on what make/model/year and engine size will determine what EGR you have, if you have one. "Exhaust Gas Recycling", and yes, your 96 should have one.
What kind of harm can happen to your vehicle when the EGR positioning is not positioned correctly?
The purpose of the EGR valve is to direct some of your exhaust gas right back into your intake. Hence the name: Exhaust Gas Recirculation. Sounds pretty ridiculous, huh? Well, exhaust gas actually helps your engine warm up more efficiently (so the valve is open when the block's cold), then the valve's supposed to shut off that exhaust intake when you're warm. If it stays open exhaust is always recirculated into the engine. It would be like taking your air filter off and driving continuously through a tunnel filled with exhaust. Nice, huh? The life, gas mileage, and horsepower of your engine are all reduced.

What does it mean when oil spews out of the exhaust pipe?
Serious trouble. It usually means a broken oil (piston) ring. Another possibility is that your exhaust valve seals are bad/gone or valve guide is worn in excess. Another possibility is it is condensation coming out of exhaust mixed with black residue from exhaust and only looks like oil.
