it recirculates the unburned gases intake through the engine and burs it to reduce emission
It recirculates the unburned gas back through the intake to reburn it and cut down on emmisions.
Perhaps you mean EGR valve. It stands for exhaust gas reclaimer. It sends some of the exhaust back through the engine to re-burn unburned fumes for cleaner emissions.
Yes Gas does not burn completely in the diesel motor. The unburned gas can then backfire suddenly through your exhaust while driving. I know.
The purpose is to re-burn any unburned hydrocarbons (fuel) remaining in the exhaust stream after the internal combustion process by putting some of the exhaust gases back through the intake process and scavage for any un-burnt fuel (gas). Hence the acronym EGR - Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve.
A large backfire is most likely caused by a bad spark plug or plug wire. Unburned air and fuel pumped into the exhaust will often be ignited by the other cylinders still burning exhaust gases. Also check your ignition timing, if it is late and you have a rich mixture you can get a backfire. An exhaust leak will let air enter the exhaust under deceleration and cause a "popping" sound.
possible worn rings, blue smoke is normally associated with unburned oil seeeping past piston & ring,and escaping through exhaust.
This is more common with aftermarket pipes. The popping can be detonation of a small amount of unburned fuel when it is blown past the valves and ignites inside the exhaust pipe from the heat. It will also sometimes backfire through the carburetor where the rider feels the "pop" through the airbox cover.
With Beetles backfiring usually means that (usable fuel) is too lean. The gas fails to burn efficiently and the unburned fuel mixture fills the exhaust system. Add a spark and it explodes. This can be from a vacuum leak from the carburetor/intake manifold flange or the manifold where attached to the cylinder head. This can be be from a number of things, these are just the most common.
On each side of the engine, four of the bolts that attach the exhaust manifolds to the head, first go through the heat shield, through the exhaust manifold and into the head. These four bolts must be removed to get the spark plug heat shields off.
The EGR valve is located on the Intake manifold. It will be near the throttle body. (The EGR send unburned exhaust back through the intake. It should only require the removal of two bolts to remove the EGR. When you hold the EGR you will be able to see the valve on the inside of it.
A catalytic converter overheats due to an excess of unburned hydrocarbons reaching it through the exhaust stream for an extended period of time. This overworks the catalyst bed inside the converter, which then starts to become plugged, generating even more heat as it does. In short order, the converter will become a significant exhaust obstruction, causing the engine to overheat and lose power. Eventually, this will prevent the engine from running, due to the inability of the exhaust to escape, denying the engine the opportunity to "breathe"...
