Answer

I don't know the specifics for a 1986 Mazda pickup, but EGR stands for "Exhaust Gas Recirculation".

Answer

The EGR light comes on at 60,000 miles and again at 80,000 miles. It is a way Mazda attempts to get you into a dealer. There are two wires one green and one brown, one of these two will be plugged into a white plastic connector on a single wire. (Under the dash at the far left) unplug the green or brown and plug in the other wire. Problem solved, start the engine and the light will go out.

AnswerThe EGR valve recirculates exhaust gas to reduce combustion temperature and NOx emissions which are formed under high heat. The EGR system does not lower HC emissions.

On the EGR valve is a pintle position sensor which provides data to the computer so it can detect proper operation. If the computer detects that the valve is not operating it will throw the EGR light, it is not simply a marketing scheme.

Is a 1988 Mazda B2000 a 4 cylinder?

Yes, a Mazda B2000 is most definitely a 4-cylinder with a 2.0L engine. However, technically Mazda didn't produce the B2000 as a 1988 model. It was made in 1986-1987. Then in 1989 Mazda made the B2200 Pickup, which is a 2.2L 4 cylinder.
