Backpressure Transducer EGR System
- Check vacuum hoses for correct routing. Connect a vacuum gauge directly to EGR vacuum source on carburetor. With engine running, open and close throttle. If vacuum is present, EGR vacuum port is open.
- If no vacuum is present, EGR vacuum port is plugged. Disconnect EGR supply hose from EGR valve. Connect a vacuum pump to EGR valve. With engine at normal operating temperature and at 2000-2500 RPM, slowly apply 8 in. Hg to EGR valve. EGR valve stem should move up, oscillate and move down with throttle movement. Release vacuum and engine speed should increase.
- If operation is not as specified, check for plugged EGR passages or faulty EGR valve.
