The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) hose can melt due to excessive heat exposure, often caused by a malfunctioning engine or a blocked exhaust system that leads to increased temperatures. Additionally, prolonged contact with hot engine components or oil leaks can exacerbate the situation. Over time, the materials used in the hose can degrade, making them more susceptible to melting. Regular maintenance and monitoring of engine temperatures can help prevent this issue.

Egr hose routing on a 1997 GMC safari?

On a 1997 GMC Safari, the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) hose routing involves connecting the EGR valve to the intake manifold. The hose should come from the EGR valve located on the engine's intake manifold and route to the EGR port in the intake, ensuring a secure fit to prevent leaks. It's important to check for any blockages or damages in the hose, as proper routing is essential for optimal engine performance and emissions control. Always consult a repair manual for specific diagrams and additional details.
