EGR Systems

When the temperature in the combustion chamber becomes extremely hot, nitrous oxides are formed, which then turn into smog. In order to reduce such occurrence, the exhaust gas recirculation system minimizes the temperature in the combustion chamber.

Where is the EGR valve on a 97 V6 3.8L Buick Lesabre and how do you replace it?

Hi... I also have an EGR valve on a 97 LeSabre that turns on the engine light [[emission code = P1406]], but engine still runs smooth. Thus, am going to wait to replace it.... a little while AND check it out via shop manual in local Library. Cost of AC-Delco EGR w/pintle position sensor is ~$150... + gasket. The EGR valve is on the drivers side of the engine... and has a thin solid panel behind it (on side toward interior of car)... and it has a 5 wire connector going into it and is connected with 2 bolts. Oh, it is BEHIND the long(side to side of car AND wide(front to back) engine cover --as mentioned on the drivers side at(behind to the driver) the bottom left 'corner' of the engine cover [[looking from the top down on the engine as if lying on the roof and having hood removed]] To see what it looks like see this site: http://www.rockauto.com/ref/SMP/SMPDetail2.html?EGV466.jpg ---unfortunately, site shows just the unit from the side instead of from the top or on an angle and it is by itself instead of in the engine compartment. Ah yes, to replace, have engine off; remove 5 wire connector, remove the 2 bolts that hold it to the exhaust manifold, remove and replace gasket... and you probably want to check that the is NOT carbon blocking (even partially) the port)... if there is stuff a rag down into the port to prevent carbon dropping down into the manifold and use a shop vac as you wire brush or? chisel? the carbon away. After carbon removed, clean particles of carbon with shop vac from area so when remove rag, nothing gets into the manifold opening. Put on new gasket, new EGR, torque the two bolts to recommended amount; reconnect 5 wire connector.... and you should be ready to drive. good luck... f.

Would a faulty EGR valve cause a 2001 GMC Yukon to die at highway speed?

Easy E.G.R. repairI've had problems with e.g.r system on my 00 Suburban, but never at highway speed. Cold start/stumble at idle. Remove the valve from intake and check for carbon build up inside it. Clean it with throttle body cleaner and reinstall with aftermarket gasket that has a mesh screen built into it that stops chunks of carbon from getting stuck in valve. Cheap and easy fix.

OR

My 2002 Yukon XL (about 76,000 mi. at the time) Died at highway speed twice in the same trip from NC to MA I had a bad O2 sensor on the way to Myrtle Beach, had it replaced ($270 at a dealer ouch!)and on the way back to MA It died on me w/no warning, turns out it was restricted catalytic converters that had to be replaced (thank you 100,000 mile warranty)

Take your Yukon to the dealership and have them run the codes on there computer. they'll probably charge you about $75 bucks but it should tell you what was going on with your motor when it quit. and may save you allot of time and $$ in trial and error

Where is the EGR valve on a Ford Ranger?

possible AnswerThe Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is located at the right rear corner of the intake manifold, near the firewall.

i believe its the left (drivers) side.

Another possible answer.

It really depends on the engine and year. On the V6s, it's usually near the throttle and Idle Air Control Valve. That's if it's equipped with one, as it's quite inconsistent from year to year with Rangers regarding their having EGR valves.

How long do I have to wait till the computer recognizes the change and the Check Engine light goes off after replacing a bad EGR Valve and EGR Solenoid Valve in my 98 Expedition?

Try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes to reset the code Went to Autozone to see if I replaced the wrong part. They said I had to wait "a while" till the change was recognized. That the computer used some type of formula of engine starts, miles, and gears shifted through before it would turn it off. It has been 3 days, about 8-12 engine starts and about 30 miles.
