Saddle valves are leak prone depending on the age and the installation. If your valve is leaking sometimes tightening will solve the problem. If you must have a new one and the old one is not leaking... I would suggest just to leave the old one and install a new one near the old one as disconnecting, cleaning (the pipe) and assuring that your aim is good in aligning the new valve to use the existing perforation of the old valve is difficult, and requires turning off the water supply. Installing a new saddle valve is quite simpler and the water may remain on.
The saddle valve is open.
To turn off a saddle valve, locate the small handle on the valve and turn it clockwise until it is fully closed. This will stop the flow of water through the valve.

A saddle valve is a type of valve used in plumbing systems to connect a water supply line to a pipe. It is typically used to supply water to appliances like ice makers or water filters. The saddle valve is attached by clamping onto the pipe and piercing it to create a connection for the water supply line.
Some alternative options to using a saddle valve for connecting a water line include using a compression fitting, a push-to-connect fitting, or a sweat fitting. These methods provide a more secure and reliable connection compared to a saddle valve.
Saddle valves, also known as tee valves, are useful to easily supply water to small appliances
To install a saddle valve for your water supply line, first turn off the water supply. Then, locate a suitable spot on the pipe where the valve can be attached. Use a pipe cutter to cut a small section of the pipe. Place the saddle valve over the cut section and tighten the screws to secure it in place. Turn the valve handle to pierce the pipe and create a connection. Finally, turn the water supply back on and check for any leaks.
A saddle valve is available that clamps on an existing line.
My Aurora had a slight hesitation or rpm surge at about 1500 rpm. disconnecting the electrical connector from the EGR valve and the problem went away.
The process for sink valve replacement involves turning off the water supply, disconnecting the old valve, installing the new valve, and reconnecting the water supply. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the correct tools to ensure a successful replacement.
