What does an EGR line do?
What does an EGR line do?
EGR tubes direct exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold through the EGR system. The tubes ultimately recirculate the gases back into the combustion chambers to be burned again.
Is the EGR valve supposed to run during idle?
However, this EGR valve isn’t supposed to operate during idle, at wide open throttle or before the engine is warmed up. If it runs at any of these times, the performance of the engine is affected.
Why does my Ford F-150 engine run rough at idle?
Mine runs fine until it gets warm usually 20 30 min of freeway, then when put in reverse or pulling into parking spot, drops to very low idle and sounds like the loudest diesl motor, hit throttl to up idle and back to normal. Have found no one that can tell me where to begin. no engine lights
What causes a Chevy 350 to backfire when idle?
If a main vacuum hose such as the power brake booster feed line has broken or failing off it will cause a lean backfire due to the additional air allowed into the engine intake manifold. This problem will be accompanied by high or low engine idle and a harder to push brake pedal than normal.
What kind of engine does Ford F150 5.4 have?
2006 F150 5.4 Starts and runs smooth until warming up to operating temp. At this point it starts to idle rough and engine sounds like it’s starving for oil. If I raise the rpm it goes away.
Can you replace the EGR on a Ford F150?
It can be replaced with a smog delete kit (usually sold for mustangs), or you can run a shorter belt. The only real benefits of removal are slightly less load on the motor, you shed some weight, and it’s less crap in the engine bay. The EGR and O2 are a bit tougher to deal with, and will light your CEL.
What are the symptoms of a bad EGR valve?
A rough idle upon starting the engine (that is, when the engine is cold) and sometimes at a stop light or while looking for a spot in a parking lot (that is, at low engine speeds in a warmed-up engine). Stalling when the engine idles. Increase in fuel consumption.
Can a blanked off EGR improve engine performance?
Of course its not. The EGR pumps warm used air back into the engine instead of cold clean air. If you were to blank of the EGR, it would continuously get cold air thus an improvement in performance. For people looking for the best performance upgrade (such as myself), a remap with a blanked off EGR will provide excellent results.
