EGR Valve

  1. Remove vacuum hose connecting EGR valve to PVS valve. Apply a vacuum of at least 4 in. Hg to EGR valve, then release vacuum. Valve should close. If not, remove valve for inspection. Faulty EGR valves should be replaced.
  2. Connect a vacuum pump and gauge to EGR valve. Check reading at which valve starts to open (valve stem is visible in opening between diaphragm housing and valve body). Valve should start to open at 2.2-2.6 in. Hg.
