To be honest, not giving your turbo diesel a good hard thrashing every now and again. I know it sounds silly but the high temps created will help free up the carbon deposits with the egr system and intake manifold, which cause the sticking egr valve.
I have worked on many Ford tdci's vauxhall cdti's and done servicing on police cars. Never seen a police car with a blocked up egr and clogged intake manifold, but have seen the same car with less than 10K from new with it completely blocked - was a 50+ lady who admitted never going above 2500 rpm.
Only reason for the police car not having the problem (with 100K+ on the engine) is the engines are on full throttle for sustained periods of time and it burns off the the soot and carbon.
What else can I help you with?
Can a catalytic converter cause the EGR valve to go bad?
No, the catalytic converter is downstream from the EGR valve so it has no effect on it.
Can an egr valve go bad on 1995 blazer?
Yes.
What does a cataylic converter causes on a 1996 gmc sierre 1500 with a 305 when it goes bad?
If the cat goes bad you will notice a large reduction in fuel economy, and it causes your vehicle to produce a lot more emissions. This may also cause your oxygen sensor to go bad and possibly your EGR valve as well.
Can you repair an EGR valve?
Depends on the vehicle. They usually do not go bad. I know that some vehicles are pron to EGR problems, not the valve. The EGR port gets clogged, causing a vehicle to run poor. The port can be cleaned, I just had mind done on my 2000 Accord V6. The vehicle has not sputtered or had a bad start since.
How do you know when a egr valve go bad on a Toyota Camry 1997?
It does not happen as often as you might think. But it does happen. Usually EGR valve goes out if you car is 10 years and older and you have way over 100K miles. Also if the valve is cleaned regularly it will work longer.
Does a 99 Mitsubishi diamante have an egr solenoid or just the egr valve. If it does have the solenoid where is it related to the valve?
Yes, the Diamante has an EGR solenoid. On any Mitsubishi, if the car has an egr valve, it has a solenoid to operate the valve. Just follow the vacuum line from the valve and it will go to the solenoid. There may be another one way valve between the valve and the solenoid, though. The solenoid is electronic.
Where is th egr valve on a 1992 camaro z28?
The egr valve is the engine gas recirculation valve. It is located under the intake plentum and usually is gold or black and looks like a little bell. they usually don't go bad, the vaccum lines will often break, or it will get internally clogged.
How do you get your egr valve to not stick open all the time?
IT IS A BAD THING TO HAVE YOUR E.G.R. VALVE STUCK OPEN. THIS WILL GIVE YOU A LEAN AIR/FUEL MIXTURE AND DAMAGE YOUR ENGINE. EGR VALVES DONT GO BAD TOO OFTEN; THEY JUST CARBON UP. TRY CLEANING IT WITH CARB CLEANNER. REINSTALL AND TRY IT OUT.
Where is the EGR valve located on a 1994 Mazda 626?
it located in very bad area between the firewall and the intake manifold,actually it is on the intake manifold.if you want to reach the egr valve yo have to go under the car and take off exhaust pipe before the catalytic converter.
Were do the egr valve vacuum line go on a 1993 grand marquis?
The Red line is the Vacumme line the comes from the drivers side of the intake to the EGR selonoid (at the top) the Green line goes from the EGR selonoid directly to the EGR valve (at the bottom of the Selonoid).
What can you check or replace if the check engine light comes back on and the code is P401 and you have already replaced the EGR valve?
Check the EGR selenoid valve. The vacuum will pass throught the defective selenoid valve and go the EGR valve even if it has not been activated. The ECM will not detect a defective selenoid valve - only an EGR problem.DPFE sensorIf it's a Ford product, you may need a DPFE sensor. You should also check for a restriction in the EGR passageway.
