  • Signs of stuck open or stuck closed egr valve going bad. In this video I discuss all thr classic symptoms of a stuck open or stuck closed egr valve. In most cases egr valve fail due to carbon build-up which will clog passages. Cleaning the egr passages may fix the issue. If the engine is pinging or knocking a bad egr may be the problem. In addition, I also explain how an egr valve work and its function.

    Thank You sir for the informative and educational video on EGR valve operation and maintenance. I especially appreciated your explanation of the difference in engine performance ( or lack there of ) in a stuck-open and stuck-closed EGR valve. Keep up the good videos. Have A Productive Day! 🚗🛻🚜

      @@blackmothcustoms190K miles on my 2008 Volvo V50 2.0d (no DPF from factory) I have never replaced the EGR and I’ve had the car 9 years and 100K miles.
      Recently a vacuum pipe broke and it is now stuck closed, but of smoke on cold start & under sudden load / WOT… but otherwise no issues.
      She is returning 50mpg average over a tank of diesel (UK MPG not US gallons)…. Basically 550 miles for 45 litres of fuel.
      I would suggest to viewers to clean their EGRV if it is sticky… some driving under heavy load also helps “blow away the cobwebs@.

      I dunno about replacing it. But at least clean the EGR system and try that. Just replacing the EGR hasn't solved your issue for long. The soot will build up in the valve within months and you'll have the same problem all over again. I suppose however, if you're a mechanic, replacing the valve and charging the customer for a full cleanout is a very lucrative scam!

    great information! Have my suspicions either my valve is stuck closed or maybe a sensor issue on my old 1990 f-150. My other suspicion could be my MAP sensor. Check engine light came on. Recently just got the truck and my OB1-2 reader got stolen lol. So going to Oreillys tomorrow to read the codes. Interesting though the truck ran fine on the way home and I just noticed a small air hose was disconnected at the air box. My buddy thought it might be a PCV valve issue. As soon as I re-connected it ran like crap, especially throttling in 3rd and 4th gear. Interested to see what it ends up being. Thanks for the info!

    my 07 explorer, when idling at a stop, the rpms drop...starts to shake...feel like is struggling not to stall. sometimes the acceleration is not as responsive. had throttle body checked and cleaned, maf sensor checked and cleaned, new spark plugs and a general tune up. still the same. could a bad egr valve be the problem? this does not happen every time in idle. it is intermittent but has been happening more often than not lately.

    • @jozsefgerjak5292
      @jozsefgerjak5292 Před 2 měsíci

      yes, if its stucked at open position the MAF sensors signal will be incorrect and the mixture will be poor so the RPMs will jump and in extreme cases it could stall

      @christopherw2233 Před rokem +3

      This can be cause by a plugged PCV sytem, or more likely severe blowby, where combustion gasses blow the oil out of the crakcase and up to the valve covers. This could be cause by broken rings or severe wear. Not a good idea to drive the vehicle until you figure it out.

      Update fuel pump in the tank has a built in regulator that's leaking can toggle the key 5 to 8 times and it will build enough pressure to start. Once running has never stalled. Checked fuel pressure at the line into fuel rail and it never held. Changed injectors too as 5 of the 6 were leaking badly so flooding 5 cylinders. Wet plugs. Also found there was no egr on this model 2002 Town and Country lx. Just a plug.
