Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electronic EGR Valve
The Electronic EGR valve is required in EEC systems where EGR flow is controlled according to computer demands of EGR Valve Position (EVP) sensor. The EGR valve is operated by a vacuum signal from EGR Vacuum Regulator (EVR).
EGR valve is mounted on top of an intake and exhaust gas port. The EGR pintle blocks exhaust gas from entering intake system. When vacuum is applied to EGR valve, the diaphragm is actuated. This lifts EGR pintle (attached to diaphragm) and allows exhaust gas to recirculate into intake system.
