Yes, a bad EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve can cause your engine to run hotter than normal. The EGR valve is designed to reduce combustion temperatures by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gases back into the engine's intake. When the valve is stuck closed or malfunctioning, it prevents this cooling process, leading to increased combustion temperatures, potential knocking, and overheating issues—especially during heavy loads or high-speed driving.
If you're experiencing overheating, poor engine performance, or a check engine light, it’s essential to have your EGR valve inspected or replaced.

Would a bad EGR valve on a 1987 Volvo 240 DL have any effect on passing the NOx for emissions?
Yes, if the valve is bad. With the car idling, move the EGR valve diaphragm with your fingers. The engine should quit or want to quit. If it doesn't do this, it could be plugged up. Remove the EGR valve and clean any carbon deposits in the valve and also do the same on the engine side where the EGR valve is connected. If the EGR has never been removed before, it will probably have carbon buildup.
