The BEST video so far....I have seen on this subject..........thanks
Excellent information packed short clip. Wow, thanks for the refresher, Great job!
Thanks mate..made my day.
Small point, but MAF has one job: inform computer of the rate of air delivery through the sensor. It has no idea what the state of the engine is and is a pure input used as a baseline. EGR does not affect its output. There are corrections to that input made using MAP and manifold air temp, and those do get affected some by egr operation [per engine rpm] - those computer corrections do not change MAF sensor response characteristics or output stability. Also, O2 [and AFR sensor if equipped] will force fuel trim corrections on the fly. If egr system fails closed, fuel trim goes positive to offset extra amount of oxygen rich air ingested. If egr fails open [least likely scenario], trim should go negative up to a certain rpm, tapering back to zero along the way..
You nailed it. God bless you. This video has saved me thousands of Naira in Nigeria 🇳🇬 . Mine is fixed, and the car is running smoothly while idling. God bless you
glad to hear from you brother 😊
Had an egr valve stuck closed on my petrol outback. It ran just fine and even passed its emissions test at the MoT. I did eventually replace it as it's a 5 minute job on a Subaru.
thank you so much for this video. I think after watching this, I have figured out what's wrong with my car. a dealership had it for awhile for some other things like water pump, freeze plug, o rings, few others. I get mycar back and now it stalls while I'm driving and esp. while in park but not all the time, just sometimes-mostly when first started and taken somewhere. After I drive it and it warms up, it won't do it. It also while driving sometimes acts like it's in neutral-I will press the gas and nothing. rpm's do n't go up. the car won't move and after a min or so of that it'll jerk and go on down the road. My gas mileage has went down a lot quicker than it used to as well. Your video describes everything it's doing and a code reader did bring up Egr valve and Egr circuit control. Going to get egr replace and hope and pray this fixes the issue. I can't keep driving it like this.
Hi there, most of the time an egr clean up should do the job...and if not resolved needs a replacement.
What was it
@@johnplate9367 If you're speaking to me, I don't know yet. My car has been in a shop since FEb. 2nd and they can't seem to figure it out. He thinks it's my ECM.
@Jay Yoyo my computer was water damaged. got new o2 sensors, new convertor, new egr, .....car has ran great for a week or so and it's right back to hestitating and rev's itself up while in park. today it stalled on me too. I'm fed up, this has been going on now since the beginning of sept of last year and between my mother and I have paid over 4k trying to fix my car. has new parts, runs a little better but still same problem. also a new tps and map sensor, new spark plugs, new ignition coils. new battery bc the idiot mechanic made my battery go bad but would nto admit it was his fault, i think tha'ts everything new that's been put on.
@Jay Yoyo I don't have a radiator cap on radiator. My car only has a place to put it in the overflow jug and it's at it's proper level. I check that often because the first issues that started all this was a cooling problem. water pump, timing belt(my pump is internal near the timing), freeze plug and o rings on back of engine. all that was fixed by a dealership that also screwed us over. i get it back from them fixing that stuff and I have this problem now trying to figure out.
My car has been suffering from the 1st symptom for a few weeks now, when the engine is cold, there is noticeable vibration when idling at traffic stop, and when the auto transmission downshifts to full stop, the car felt like threatening to die off. Suspected bad engine mounting, bad spark plugs, and dirty O2 sensor. Went to a workshop, the guy checked and discounted all 3 causes. Then he decided to do EGR valve delete by blocking it off and voila now the symptom is gone.
My Ford kuga does the same, 2.0 diesel

Thanks mate..
Great video.. I now know this will fix my car.. check engine light came on for EGR Valve and fuel filter.. but this video explains everything my car is doing.. RPM's so low the engine stalls.. car runs ruff.. I'm petty sure this is my problem now
Hi there mate, glad to hear from you and hope will get fixed soon.

هل تم إصلاح مشكلة سيارتك وكان العطل من صمام egr ؟
This video helped alot. Had real bad rough idle on 07 4.0 mustang. The plugs, wires, and coil pack are brand new. I did notice a fuel smell but I thought maybe just typical car smell. I ended up buying a new OE motorcraft EGR valve after checking everything it could possibly be. Put the sucker (literally) in and the car runs like a dream at idle while in drive finally. Old one was pretty rusted out, dirty and was probably +10 years old so I guess it was just due to get replaced. Car barely has 100k but I'm fighting age instead of miles with this old ride.
Gald to hear from you mate...
Hey quick question did the rough idle stop once the car was in park?
@@dailyhandsdiy I have a 2020 sonata,
my check engine light came on , when I took it to the dealership and start up my car and all of a sudden,the engine light was off. This hapoen alot..until I finally came to them while the light was still on, they told me my egr valve need replace. And I was 4 miles over my warranty!! Even though I've been coming to them about 3 months about the situation. Hyundai want 2,500 dollars to fix it..I'll never do business with Hyundai ever again.. 3 yes having this car and its already fuckin up.. Hyundai are garbage!!
That means the egr valve is sticking intermittently and needs a cleaning. Could just give the car for an egr service and the issue should be resolved.
Also here with an 06 mustang 4.0. Last night it completely lost all of its power and took 2 minutes to get up to 40 where it refused to go faster.
Only making cars worst with all them dam sensors
i know thats true. 100%
agree..its nothing but Garbage
Nah I remember the late 80s and early 90s. Everywhere you went smelled like gas and exhaust fumes. Now the smell is gone. Im glad they made the sensors.
i hate those things. my buick electra didnt have all that. only oil pressure sensor.
If "worst" means more efficient and safe then yes.
Very informative! Thank you.
Hi there, glad to hear from you.
Thanks!nailed it!
You can always reroute it to the intake fitting of the crank case and add a breather to the crank case or a catchcan from the pcv and crankcase
Very good and right info.. thank you very much
Any time Brother :)
Got a 1985 Chrysler LeBaron 2.2 l4 that hates the cold Midwestern weather and almost stalls out. I cleaned the throttle body, used injector cleaner and nothing changed. Cleaned the EGR valve....purrs like a kitten.
Many thanks
Hi there, so you were saying, cleaning EGR fixed your problem? or still there.
@@dailyhandsdiy indeed fixed it
Glad to hear from you mate :)
My one same issue. Are u able to restart after stalls? And no code came up ?
Very explainable and very intrigued with your help of understanding the koas of EGR failure's. Spot on with your expertise...
Happy to hear from you....mate.
Hi brother I'm from India Tamil Nadu State good information thanks wish you all the best happy journey your life

muito obrigado pelo video,foram dia tentando encontrar solucoes pro problema do meu carro ate chegar aqui.
Glad to hear from you mate 😊
Hey thanks for the video. Recently my audi a3 1.8 1998 started this knockingish sound it was more subtle than most knockings i see on the YT and it stopped after a day. It also sometimes runs rough when idle but very rarely. Im thinking it might be an egr or spark plugs but what do you think?
Sounds like yes maybe those things. Is Could be the coil pack, MAF sensor, fuel filter or vacuum leak
Thank you. Just what i need
Glad to hear from you brother 😊
Don't forget the smell of oil from the exhaust pipe on start-up when the oil gets into the combustion chamber onto the spark plugs.👍
1.8 tdci mondeo struggles with boosting but does boost fully at high rpm 4k rpm red line only starts boosting at 2.5 k rpm and fully boosts at 3k and boosts all the way to 4k would you know what the problem is?
Hi, thanks for the video. This is exactly like my car now. It starts up rough, keeps cutting out on idle and when driving especially at slow speed. I have bmw e60 525d with no dpf. What do you recommend I do with the egr valve? Thanks
Hi there, mostly any issue with egr, there won't be much trouble with idle and startup. Ny how it should be cleaned periodically and also clean the air intake sensors ie maf n map. Also check the fuel pressure in lines.
So some engines run hot without a egr? But the carb version of the newer ones did fine an didn't over heat or knock?
Doing it for the first time on a 2014 Ford Fusion gonna clean the EGR valve today. Any gaskets required when reassembling?
Hey there, no there's only one steel gasket and can be reused with no worrys.
Can anyone confirm whether a faulty egr valve would definitely bring on the EML?my van has all these symptoms but no lights on dash 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for the video
Glad to hear from you mate 😊
I wish to have the EGR valve open later and closing more early to have less rebreathing of exhaust. Do i have to change the mapping or just use different values in VCDS?
Some adjustments can be done through VCDs but not sure if that comes under your requirement else could do a full ecm remap. If you adjust via vcds performance ranges can vary and might throw a check engine light if readings go beyond accepted range.
Everything he said happened to me...

Lmaooo same here I thought it was my timing belt
The EGR valve on my 2008 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6 has small hole on the back side that sucks in air. The hole is factory made. I did a smoke test and its the only place smoke came out of. I'm having a problem with rough idle once the engine warms up. It runs great while otherwise.
This EGR valve is a replacement for one that did the same thing.
Probably coil pack
I just finished cleaning and reassembling the EGR, and after starting the ICE, white smoke with a chemical odor is coming from behind the engine. I did spill the coolant that was in the EGR into the engine bay, so I thought it might just be evaporating, but it's not coming from where it seemed to spill. I turned the car off as soon as I noticed, but despite running for only a minute or so the exhaust manifold was already extremely hot.
Not sure how normal that is. I was leaning on the engine pretty heavily while getting some of the trickier nuts; I wouldn't think that would damage anything but the thought did occur to me. Any advice would be appreciated.
Seems the egr valve is stuck open. Sometimes the fitting goes wrong and the valve falls to open position. Might need a dismantle again.
The bad smell at cold is the easiest sign of a bad egr or the gas sensor in the exhaust pipe before and after the catalytic convt.
Sure yes. Thanks for bringing that up.
Is it like a burning smell? And will it make it smoke more?
it makes a pungent fuel odour or like partially burnt fuel smell. And yes it spits out smoke. also smoke can be of different reasons. give a proper diagnosis.
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks mate, yeah mines got a real bad burning smell to it, just started doing it, shaking a little to, wasn't like that when I brought it a few months ago
@@kristopherwilliams5711 Did you fix the problem? If so, wut was it?
Does the coolant go low often then since it heats up?
Great vid, I have a question, I have a 2014 insignia and when cold a very bad smell all around the car and inside but when warms up it goes but sometimes I have it when driving but not often, I did have an diagnostic done and Egr came up, I have cleaned it but bad smell still there, I guess new Egr?
Fuel smell at start up can occur if the injectors are not functioning properly or delivering excess fuel, a bad cat con also cause such issue, also if the egr sticks intermittently even if its cleaned the plunger can stick internally.
I have 05 Ram 1500slt and have the wrong head on my 4.7 I have the head w/o egr valve and all these symptoms appear on my truck and even stops. I have to buy the correct head with the egr valve and have my mechanic put it on
Is there a problem with removing it completely?
Yesterday i had codes P0406, P0108 and P0109 on my 06 Towncar. I have had a minor rattling noise when pressing the gas and some minor knocking here and there. I will pull the EGR valve today for inspection any other things I should be on the lookout for?
Hi there, do clean the map and maf sensor too. if the code remains, change the respective sensors. Map is one vital sensor for proper egr function.
@@dailyhandsdiy appreciate it 🙏
Hi, I'm driving car with automatic transmission and when my car engine is cold and when I try to start the car on P parking mode it starts very easy but when I swith to D or R car feels like not getting air and it stall when I start car again and give a little gas after swithing to D then I can ride, when engine is warm there is no such problem. Is that mean my EGR is defected or I should look somewhere else?
Hi there, this could be the egr as its looks like an air starvation or sensor misreading. Could clean the egr if not done for long Also clean the intake air sensors, throttle body if petrol head. Also change the fuel filter if its too old.
Hi there hoping u could help me ive got 2017 insignia and eml kept staying in so put obd on and it said it was maf sensor so took it off cleaned it also changed air filter but after a day or so my car was strugglig to go beyond 2000 rpm and now eml back on any suggestions dont want to buy new maf sensor to find out its something else thanks
Hi there, Maf sensor codes can be put up by egr malfunction if diesel. vacuum leaks if petrol. Check all the intake pipes n fittings if loose or if got any leaks. Clean the map sensor too. Also check for wire damages.
Can someone help?. I have a 2016 bmw 118d sport with 40k miles, it misfires or stutters if you like would this be the egr valve stuck open?
Hi, great video. I have these issues and from your video, it looks like EGR issue. If the MAF sensor is disconnected, then the car goes fine. Would long term use without MAF sensor cause other issues? One garage told me that the DPF won't regenerate without MAF connected? I'm now also seeing a code (P0136) for heated O2 sensor. Any ideas what that means as well. Thanks
Hi there, maf sensor is the prime sensor for an engine. ecm uses the sensor's values for injection and working of other valve like egr etc...you may disconnect it and run for short but for long..not recommended. You may disconnect the egr and try again and see if it does anything.
@@dailyhandsdiy Thank you. By disconnect the egr, do you mean by an egr delete using vcds or by using a blanking plate?
No no..just for the time being just unplug the connector and check if this improves anything.
Very useful video, thank you.
I have 2 identical Nissan Sunny year 1998. One of them consumes more fuel than the other. While both engines are running,i press the diaphragm of the EGRs. The engine of the most economic one stalls while it has no effect on the other one. Does having no effect means that the EGR is faulty??
Thank you
Hi there, i din get how you pressed it. Most egr if opened more than its command to, engine dies. It doesn't mean the egr is bad, it means when you handled one, the port must have opened more than it should be. You may check each egr by dismantling them and suck through the pipe and see if it it closes properly.
Also a bad maf sensor can cause this. The one which stalled must have a cleaner maf sensor so it read the change in intake flow. When egr opened up more it consumes more gas from exhaust causing no fresh air or limited fresh air to be inhaled. maf senses this and cuts the fuel off. If maf is not clean, or bad it cannot respond to the intke change and provides normal fuel rates when at idle.
@@dailyhandsdiy thank you for your prompt response my friend. Stall is a normal behavior when the EGR's diaphragm is compressed from beneath . The most economic car(Car 1) stalls when diaphragm is compressed. But the other one (car 2)doesn't.. does it mean that it is stuck open? MAF sensors are clean. I interchanged the MAF sensors but still same issue on car 2. Car 2 not only consumes more fuel but also hesitates when changing gear. Changed fuel pump and filter, but still same issue. May the EGR valve be faulty?
It doesn't mean the egr is faulty or stuck open, if its stuck open you will get a trouble code on performance variation related to maf sensor. The one with good clean egr stalls, but the other might have stuck closed gate path or the soot must have chocked the path. You may check it, just remove it first visualy check for soot, next check if its properly closed or stuck partially open. press in the diaphram and check the valve n plunger opens up and closes smoothly. Also check the vacuum on the line. If the control solenoid is bad, things get messy too. Also if you have a obd scanner cross check the maf sensor reading ie air flow on both cars if one is higher than other.
@@dailyhandsdiy thank you very much for your precious help my friend. I wish you stay as available and helpful as you arr even when you get much more subscribers☺️. Again, many Thanks🙏. I'll get back to you as soon i check what you have told me. Greetings, From Mauritius Island 😉👊
Sure brother, made my day... :D
Hello i have a 2002 golf mk4 tdi what do you think it would be better if i delete the egr could it run better or whats the prons and cons after the delete
Hi there, appologies for the late reply...you may delete the egr if it make troubles and cannot resolve. remember you are violating emission control rules. And the pros are much better low end torque and initial take off, a slight smooth rev, gas mileage depends the way one drives, clean engine, slow carbon deposit in engine oil. Cons include failing emission tests, a slight more engine noise, chances of knocking.
Once the egr is deleted, keep the engine rev lower most of the time so the piston crowns n head gasket wont get burnt. Im sure you will get enough power at the low revs to take off and overtake.
Superb thanku
Any time mate...
I was driving my car today it was fine then all the sudden sounded really rough and sputtering and noticed my gas was going down at a decent rate I have a popping noise from my muffler could it be the egr valve
Hi there, egr usually doesn't give an afterburn like you said. Its a misfire in one or more cylinder and the fuel burns at exhaust. This could be a failed injector or leaking injector, failed spark plug, ignition coil, worst valve damage or timing.
i 99% sure this is whats wrong with my car thanks for the video
Anytime mate 😊
2012 1.6 TDI seat Ibiza, exhaust sounds different sometimes, louder, rough acceleration for the first 30 mins of driving.. isent rough at idle or cutting out or bad fuel smell
If its a high mileage vehicle, its quite normal to hear a bit more knocking for the first 10 to 15 mins or bit more. Its egr that causes the difference. EGR stays closed for that period of time till the engine temp reaches a stage. If the thermostat is not closed properly, can cause more time to get engine hot. So the engine fires up and runs better without egr and cause knocking noise and a bit more vibration. This settles downs when egr opens up and smoothens the engine. This also happens if the egr is sticking intermittently. Also do clean the nozzle tips if its not cleaned before. Note. These are just some guesses have to do a proper check up.
What about if the only problem si lack of power and some white smoke when start on cold weather? The idle rpm is OK, no vibarions or shakes. Car didn't move for 3-4 years.
This can happen if the egr is stuck open.
Also could be a blown head gasket
Thanks
I am having this problem at the moment, another symptom is black ash in the coolant reservoir! However I dint know the fail EGR can make engine knock noise, Interesting..
So I broke an egr vacuum line on my dodge caravan trying to change the ignition coil and no I have a knocking in the engine when accelerating but the code says it's probably the O2 sensor not sure what to do
Hi there, when the vacuum line is broken, egr shuts close and more fresh air gets in. ie more oxygen for efficient combustion. This can lead to a small knocking noise from the engine. And as more fresh air gets in, the oxygen levels at exhaust might have gone high. Probably this might be the reason oxygen sensor code had shown up. Or the sensor might be broken. A broken sensor too can cause timing n injection deflections causing the engine to knock. Check, clean or replace the oxygen sensor first to see if knocking goes away.
My Volvo v50 has a faulty egr cooling system, and now it won’t start. Is it a possibility that a car doesnt start because of a check engine low egr pressure notification.
Hi there,if the egr is stuck open,may cause hard starting but no start, not so common unless there is an electric short in egr motor or any other sensor components.
I have a vw caddy runs absolutely lovely when started up I let it run for 5-10 mins and then it gets really rough on idle but still drives okay just a lot of black smoke I have changed all injectors and seals multiple times and same problem. Would you suggest maybe this could be a get fault
Hi there, if you have black smoke and rough performance first thing to check will be the air intake sensors and egr. Clean each one of them and see if the problem reoccurs. Also check the fuel temp sensor if its giving accurate reading.
Hi there mate, could just check the injectors first if its a diesel. Any compression loss can cause rough start or long starts followed by heavy engine vibration, white blue smokes and stall. but when the engine becomes warm, it smooths out till it comes cold again.
I guess its an iv tech engine design. If yes the valve solenoid can mismanage and cause some related issues. Throughout bearings, alternator etc wont cause much trouble on engine roughness. Do the timing and valve adjustments checks too.
Timing errors....chain too,if its loose does make problems.
I meant the timing chain can loosen up and affect the timing ie cam and crank. This can rarely give a code cam and crnk correlation but rarely. its a good idea to check that physically. Same if its a vvt ie iv tech the malfunction in vvt wil give similar issue ie timing correlations.
Hello, I am waiting for a ford fiesta mk7 euro5 1.4 diesel intake manifold cleaning video from you. you are very successful
Sure will do that 😊👍👍
My one stalls in the morning. Can restart no symptoms after driving 5min. Do you think it's bad EGR? Scanded but no code at all. It's really annoying.
Try cleaning the maf and map sensors first...and for a petrol head, a failing throttle body can do the same.
My honda crv 2010 car scanner shows egr err 99.2.I cleaned the valve but still shows the same .Do I need to change EGR valve? I eagerly waiting for your reply.
Thanks.
hi there, i guess the valve position sensor might have an issue. Do check if the technician knows how to....also repace the oxygen sensor if not done before.
For how long kms usually maruti diesels need egr cleaning??? Some cars at 30k kms face this issue
Normaly a clean up at 30k is pure good or could go up to 50k.
Hi master, hust wanna ask help. Why is my egr solenoid opens and close in wrong timing? My car hesitates especially in the morning but it also happens even when the engine is hot. I noticed the supply voltage to egr solenoid is on/off thats why its jerking. Do u know who commands the egr to open and close Aside from Ecu? You might be the one to fix it because 6 technicians have tried to fix it but failed Including hyundai centers. When i dismounted the egr solenoid with cable still connected to it, my car runs normal. I tested the solenoid by supplying 12v, and the solenoid opens and close.
EGR is actually controled by ECM itself. ecm uses readings from map, maf and pedal position sensor to calculate the engine load demands. All these are used to control the egr functions. Try cleaning all the intake air sensors first and using a scanner check if each and every sensor has a good reading especially map. Check the wiring for any damages.
@@dailyhandsdiy i have cleaned map,maf, tps and intake manifold. I also replace maf with a used one But it still jerks. Sometimes i get p0404 egr fault and sometimes i dont get any alarms but the car still jerks. Before i got p0101 so i cleaned it since it was wet because oil keeps going to the airfilter.
Alright mate wonder if you can help me. My mazda 6 2.2 diesel has intermittent smoke goes fine for a week or so then starts again.
Hi there, the first thing to do as preventive is the air intake sensors. Clean them good and also clean the egr...if there's intermittent sticking, can cause multiple problems.
My truck stalls but no engine light. Does it always pop up. No code too
May or may not throw the light. If the stall is because of egr 90% of the time used to throw a light but if its fuel starvation like low fuel pressure in line, may not give a light but simply stalls.
Hello there. I have a 2014 mustang gt and a week ago I experience lack of power on my car. It’s just isn’t the same when I accelerate. I cleaned throttle body and the mass air flow sensor. It still does the same. I feel like it even skips gears and even jerks on me when accelerating and letting go off the pedal. I have taken it to mechanics and everyone is giving me different info. Some say transmission, coil packs, spark plugs, air filter clogged and even injectors. No check engine light on ever since it started doing it. Please help.
Spark plugs, coil packs etc can be checked with ease i guess. Looks like there's a transmission related issue or torq transfer unit issue. Check the spark plugs and coils, change fuel filter if too old and finally if the problem persists check transmission.
I have a bmw 520D 2014 and when starting in cold, its sometimes difficult for the car to start + I have been noticing it doesn’t run well in low rpm’s. Even i would say its feeling like a lesser power + constant lose of coolant. Do you think its EGR ? I‘ve heard its common in this model.
Help its appreciated!
A coolant loss is somewhat related to head gasket or egr cooler....And do check the fuel pressure at idle of its too low.
I have a 2014 328D and it's doing this and throw a P016D code. Recall for Egr going to the dealer with it to see what they will do
Never known an engine overheat or knock due to a closed off or deleted EGR.
Thanks sir ❤👌
Glad to hear from you mate.
i changed all the four injector but the car is still vibrating a lot with no pick up at all n with lot of smoke so is it because of bad egr?
Egr does cause black smoke and no acceleration with noticable vibration no heavy one. Do clean the intake air sensors, MAF and MAP too.
how to fix black samook & lowe pickup problem in one of my sport diesel car
Egr does affect the pickup of your vehicle but there are other reasons like dirty air intake sensors or bad intercooler or leaky air pressure systems. Its a good idea to clean and check all the air intake sensors and egr too.
Just bought a Peugeot 207 1.6 HDI diesel with the engine management light on, had the diagnostic results and its the EGR, is that an easy clean with Wynns EGR cleaner spray or does it need replacement please ??

Best regards
Disconnect the MAF sensor and try driving, if it changes the behaviour its likely to be the sensors. Also change the air filter n fuel filter if its too old. Does the car starts normal or more time to start?
Hi.would it be smart to remove out EGR valve from engine for good.the car is Hyundai Terracan 2.9 crdi.diesel.
Hi, cannot say which is smart, egr is for emission control norms and does soot up manifolds.So for clean intakes better avoid egr and for emission standards keep it alive.
@@dailyhandsdiythanks for answer friend.
What's wrong when you change the egr valve and it still runs rough?
It simply means there's something else causing the issue. Check the air intake sensors and actuators, clean them.
Can this cause a Limp mode for reducing the engine power & acceleration???
Yes egr malfunction causes CEL and the vehicle goes to limp mode.
Hi can EGR in any way cause Missfires 1.6 hdi 82kw?
I have almost missfires on all 4 cylinders 😔
It won't cause visible misfires....might be an injector issue or air intake or fuel related sensor.

Hi there, its very common in ford tdcis to loose power or no power while switching gears when egr starts to stick and maf gets dirty. Do clean the valve and air intake sensors.
@@dailyhandsdiy thank you for answering and also the EGR was clear.No idea what else might be😕
Astra 1.6Turbo Runs out of coolant within 2 days.
Radiator replaced + Caps replaced + Thermostat replaced and still looses all coolant. No smoke, no head gasket symptoms, no over heating. Fuel economy very bad.
Could this be EGR ?
Hi there, do check the hoses n clamps for loose connection. Sometimes a loose clamp with tight pipe leaks coolant while running because of fluid running pressure but not at low engine speeds n idle. If there isn't any external leaks, the chances are headgasket or the egr cooler may have internal leaks. Do check the engine oil if its mixing with coolant.
Egr cooler might be leaking
Check radiator?
@@itswais77 radiator system was replaced. Car is still with under works been told it’s the oil cooler leaking coolant.
If its the oil cooler, practically oil should be the one going down as it has more working pressure than coolant which travels to coolant side. If its an external leak then ok. else, you may have to flush the entire cooling system or might end up blowing your engine.

Error code: P0653. PCM voltage supply circuit VCC 2 short to battery voltage
Could you share your inference?
It's a like ecm has a short...or the sensors or even wiring. Need to check all of them and find the cause.
@@dailyhandsdiy Great! Thanks for writing in. How may I contact you? Where are you based out of?
does the Mazda 323 caries a fuel regulator on the carburator 89 mod
Sry im no match for the qstn as am not familiar with the engine type. Any one with answers pls do comment. Thanks.
I have a 2015 Ford Focus and everytime I put my car in drive it stalls and loses power but as soon as I put my car in reverse it's normal. I've already changed the actuators. But I think it's the egr valve.
Also clean the intake air sensors as well.
Hi mate I hope you can give some opinion, my car is a turbo diesel 10 year old with 73k miles, just recently I'm having intermittent power loss but no engine light coming on every time, but once I turn the engine off and restart it fixes itself and the power comes back as normal. The car has had major service, including fuel filter, the engine sounds okay, idle is stable and no smoke, only there's no boost when it happens and the rpm wouldn't even go over 2k. My question is do you think it's an EGR issue at all? Or something else? And why do you think there's no engine light?
hi there, yes its common for egr to get stuck and cause similar issues without engine light to pop up. ECM may or maynot show a MAF performance range malfunction code when this happens but with no CEL. This same could happen if the air intake sensors (especially MAF n MAP) are dirty and misreads the air volume data.
Either its a fresh air starvation or misreading, or its a fuel starvation.
Did you have a car accident with the front of the car?
@@ivanrados6494 what's the relevance if car had accident or not?
@@MarianA-vu8tb oke forget about that
If someone put a software that is't Mercedes orginal that might be problem
Iv just had my 118d hooked upto computer. Maf sensor egr stuck open. Should I clean the egr b4 replacing the maf sensor then?
It has about 10 other codes too but we won't go there😂
Yup you should clean the egr and related intake sensors first. EGR does trigger the air intake sensor codes.
Thanks alot for quick reply. Will get it off and clean it out then
Thanks alot for quick reply. Will get it off and clean it out then
Anytime mate :)
Had egr and cat flashing now just says egr and in limp mode. Is it the cat or th egr??? Help
EGR can cause the cat to block and malfunction.
My mates 1 series was running rough. I took his egr off & no word of a lie it was caked in carbon & sludge. If was stuck closed. Cleaned it with petrol & made it shiny again and his car flew after
Beauty of EGR...
@@dailyhandsdiy mpg up by 4mpg after 2 days
Yup 90% of the time egr cause fuel mileage related problems in vehicle.
@@dailyhandsdiymy car goes into limp mode with no codes.
Mk3 Mondeo 2.0tdci could it be the egr valve?
Smokes and strong exhaust fumes.
@shanepatrick641 That might be one of the reasons, there're other reasons like dirty maf or map sensors, injector failures, turbo pressure leaks etc...
My car fluidic verna turbo diesel 1.6 ran 115000 km,when to clean egr??
Hi there, If its not done anytime, do it right now. Best interval should be 40k kms.
@@dailyhandsdiyBro when to clean intercooler and catalytic converter pls tell???
cat can be cleaned btwn 60 to 70k kms and intercooler around 50k.
Is it possible for an EGR valve to be dirty enough for it causes mileage loss but not dirty enough where it will throw a code
Yes absolutely, if the valve is dirty enough, which makes it not able to close properly, or not able open properly can make huge differences. If the valve is completely stuck with zero movement,can throw a code. but otherwise, a code related to MAF sensor performance code is stored in the temporary memory of ecm which will not lit the engine management light. but results in the performance of the car. For newer cars with latest emission standards, this might be less seen for most cars as a small change in egr flow lits the CEL right up.
@@dailyhandsdiy thank you. I am going to try to either clean it or replace my valve. I'm only getting 10 MPG. When I should be getting 13 / 14 ? Every time I ask a mechanic about mileage issues. they keep saying you have no code there's no issue. However nobody mentions this.
@@dailyhandsdiy by the way I am working with a 2008 Ford ranger FX4 4.Ol
Haha the said one applies most on ford vehicles. Usually egr wears out, a maf sensor performance range issue is stored and when it goes out completely, CEL lits with egr code.
@@dailyhandsdiy well I'm not waiting that long. 😦
I have a 2011 escape that was getting around 350 miles to a full tank now I'm getting around 250 on a tank I have replaced the plugs the air filter out a lockout gas cap on it and ran Lucas injector into as well still having the same mileage til I have to fill up again which like I said is around 250 miles instead of 350 have not had any accidents with it...any ideas would be helpful..could it be the O2 sensors near the cat ??
Hi there, Yes o2 sensors, air intake sensors etc does affect the gas mileage badly.
Is it OK if I remove the EGR and update the software of the car .
Hi if you remap the car you there's nothing to worry. And by the way there's nothing like software ugrade or updation, just remap or reprogram.
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks 😊
bro.. can you post Tata manza EGR service video
Sure bro i will when i get hands on.
thanks bro
any time bro
Not sure if you can help - recently losing power on takeoff, had the car inspected and been informed that it needs a new intake manifold and swirl flaps, plus a walnut blast. Saw that the car is due a recall for the EGR, should this be covered as it appears related?
If yours already hasn’t been worked on under that recall, then I’d go and get the work done.
Hi i have opel astra h 1.3 cdti 2008 model.
When is cold weather and its morning (i tried from 6 o clock until 9 o clock) the engine has difficulty to start.sometimes it starts but the engine runs rough and a signal engine color yellow it appears.
I change glow Plugs and the egr valve but the problem stays.
Plz help me
Ps i check the injectors and it is ok .i check the comon rail pump ( that is the name i think) and it is ok.and i check the sensor camshaft and is ok.
Plz help
Hi there, try cleaning all the intake sensors,maf n map. Also go to a auto diagnostic center and get the check engine light scanned. This will show what fault your car has.
@@dailyhandsdiy ii went to garage to check my car.i change egr valve and the rest of it and he checks the car with the diagnostic program,nothing appears as a problem.
Tell me again what to check? Thank you
Long start on morning is either maf sensr issue or fuel related issue. clean the sensor. Check the intank motor if failing, air leaks in fuel line, there's one sensor in fuel rail and a regulator, check the regulator, change fuel filter if too old. EGR wont cause this issue in cdti engine.
@@dailyhandsdiy first thing i changed was fuel filter,then i changed glow plugs and egr valve.
The garage check the injectors and was ok,check the fuel pump and crankshaft regulator ,both was ok.
The fuel tank with old diesel was at the end and i put new one with cleanser and booster .
The start problems was at low temperatures below 2 Celsius ,most of it below zero temperatures.
U say i check maf sensor,any lik at the line .and what regulator?
Because my English ( about car -technical terms) is not very good! Thank so much
Yup there's a sensor on air filter box,which has an air temp meter in it. Clean that sensor completely. And the diesel common rail regulator Or DRV. It regulates the diesel pressure in the fuel system. And like said check for any leaks in the diesel lines. If there's a leak,when at idle air gets into the line and the fuel pump takes time to fill up. And yes there's a fuel temp sensor in the engine, do check that too.
Is this only for direct injection diesel?
This topic is common for both diesel n petrol heads using port (petrol) n direct injection. Modern tech engages vvts in petrol instead for a egr and egr device will be missing from those makes.
I need a new EGR...valve....thanks
Hi i have check engine light and it say egr function sensor what should i do
Hi there, you might need to remove the egr valve and check if its stuck. Clean the valve properly and make sure its moving freely.
@@dailyhandsdiy hi i dont know how to do that but do you think how much do i need to pay in a mechanic shop?
Am not quite sure abt yr place but its almost 2 to 2.5 hrs of prof job.
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks man really appreciate you’re reply🙏🏻
Any time mate 😊
I'm bout to open up the engine an soray that valve hopefully I pray it works. My EGR is new an still having problems. I think they bought a cheap EGR an not the factory one. Maybe we'll see tommarow
Hi there, if you are saying about the spray cleaners...they dont have good results. And some aftermarket products do encounter problems when working because of material changes.
@@dailyhandsdiy Im gonna try an clean out an spray near the intake. thats my last try ..then i'll jus let the mechanic do it. its worth a shot
In that case.....Sure go ahead.... :)
Will bad EGR cause high fuel pressure?
That's odd... usually a bad fuel rail press regulator cause the issue
Simple fix. Disable, Or block the EGR valve. Resulting in your engine running the way it was always meant to , not to mention, It will last far longer ;)
My car doesn't have a maf sensor but rest seem possible
Can I drive with a bad EGR until I get it fixed?
There wont be any issue driving but its a good idea to disconnect the egr motor if electronic, so the unexpected huge carbon soot can be avoided getting into the engine.
@@dailyhandsdiy Thank you 😊
Any time mate :)
@@dailyhandsdiy are these simple to replace?
Well for some cars, its easy as its easily accessible but some cars its hard to reach.
I changed my egr & the code still shows up
Might be a wiring related issue....
Can egr valve cause p0101 to
Pop up
Have a 2013 Altima changed maf sensor replaced pcv valve got a dealership one did a reprogram on ecu but maf sensor keep popping up and have vibration when accelerating wonder if it’s egr valve pls help me this is a headache for me
Hi there, yes egr can cause the same code to pop up. If the egr is sticking, pre defined values on the maf air intake changes which cause the maf range performance code to pop up. This code is also stored when there's a vacuum leak or pressure leak in the intake side like pcv leaks, throttle body leaks, torn pipes, or more.
@@dailyhandsdiy and egr causes
Jerking when starting to accelerate & even when I start car in the morning it’ll idle and drop rpm then slip light comes on I wonder if the egr triggers that for slip light to come
On as well Nissan is so sensitive
