Common questions

Where is the EGR valve located?

Where is the EGR valve located?

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve is technically located between the exhaust and intake manifolds, since it recirculates exhaust gasses back into the intake.

Where is the EGR sensor located?

The EGR pressure sensor is located within inches of the EGR valve. The exact location varies depending on the engine (2.5L, 3.0L or 4.0L). It is usually attached to the upper intake manifold with two small bolts.

What is EGR on trucks?

The exhaust gas recirculation system, also known as the EGR system, is an emission system that is found on many road going cars and trucks. Its purpose is to recirculate exhaust gases that have exited the engine, back into the intake manifold so that they can be reburned.

How does a Chevy EGR valve work?

EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine’s exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. This dilutes the O 2 in the incoming air stream and provides gases inert to combustion to act as absorbents of combustion heat to reduce peak in-cylinder temperatures.

Were is EGR valve located on engine?

The EGR valve system is aimed at recycling exhaust fumes and is located on the engine under the hood of your vehicle. If the EGR valve is jammed, nitrogen oxide emitted into the atmosphere will not be decreased as a result. Valves can be installed on both internal combustion engine (except engines equipped with turbine) and diesel engine.

Where the Heck is the EGR valve?

The EGR system is a metal tube coming from the exhaust manifold through a diaphragm actuated by engine vacuum back to the intake. At least, it is on every engine I’ve ever seen. So, look for a metal tube coming off the exhaust manifold and follow it until you hit something that has a rubber tube going into it. That’s the EGR valve.

What is the main function of an EGR valve?

The function of the EGR valve is to recirculate small amounts of exhaust back into the combustion chambers of the engine in order to decrease the combustion temperature, thereby reducing the formation of smog-producing nitrogen oxides. EGR valves can malfunction by becoming stuck open or closed due…
