How does the EGR work on an engine backfire?
Backfire is one of them. The EGR system is designed to reintroduced a measured amount of exhaust gases back into the cylinders for reburn. This reduces combustion temperatures and dangerous emissions like NOx (oxides of nitrogen). The EGR valve opens when engine speed increases and closes when engine is resting at idle.
