What is the Exhaust Gas Recirculation/EGR Valve all about?

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve helps lower the car’s exhaust emissions (gases from the tailpipe). It recirculates the portion of the gasses coming out of the engine by putting in back into the intake manifold, where the engine can burn it again, thereby reducing the emissions.

The EGR valve is located in the engine compartment (underneath the hood). Most engines require exhaust gas recirculation to meet emissions standards. If the EGR valve has gone bad, the car will not pass emissions.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve

Keep in mind:

During the EGR valve replacement, your mechanic should also inspect the vacuum hoses connected to the EGR valve. If the vacuum hoses are cracked (leaking), the EGR valve will not function properly.

How it's done:

  • Scan the computer system in the car.
  • Check all vacuum related hoses to EGR valve.
  • Test EGR transducer.
  • Verify the EGR port is not plugged.
  • Remove and replace the EGR valve.
  • Clean the carbon deposit on EGR pintle.
  • Clear the trouble codes and test for proper operation of EGR valve.

Our recommendation:

It is a good idea to get an air induction (carbon cleaning) service performed every 50,000 miles. This will clean out any sludge or carbon build up in the air intake system. Always keep up with regular oil changes; it will help prevent sludge build up in the engine.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Exhaust Gas Recirculation/EGR Valve?

  • Check Engine light is on.
  • Possible loss of power.
  • Car will not run smoothly (shake, stumble, may stall).

How important is this service?

The EGR valve helps your vehicle recycle gas. The EGR valve is responsible for taking the gas that comes out of the engine, and sending it through the intake manifold, where the engine can utilize it again. Without the EGR valve your vehicle will not recycle and reuse any of its gas, which increases the emissions. Without the EGR, your car will not pass an emission inspection.

Ford Windstar V6-3.8L - Car is not starting - Antioch, Tennessee
Excellent & Efficient Mechanic! Joe was quick to figure that there was a problem with the fuel pressure. The fuel pump was replaced two weeks ago, so that was ruled out. He discovered a probable short in the wiring to the pump. The van will need to be on a lift to find it. Joe also suggested first having the fuel line pressurized and cleared and that strange non factory wiring that might be the cause of the short to be checked. That was very thorough work. He did a great job of getting the van ready for a garage with a lift to diagnose. I am confident that his expertise will save me more headache and unnecessary spending of money. I now know what to ask for and expect from a garage, Thanks Joe!

Wilson arrived on time as scheduled. He replaced the alternator and explained everything. He charged up the battery and got the vehicle running again. He is a great mechanic and definitely knows what he is doing. He is very professional and a really nice person. I would highly recommend Wilson and would use him again in the future. I am so pleased with the services of Your Mechanic and Wilson.
