EGR Valve: Service and Repair

EGR Component Location:

Removal
^ Raise vehicle on hoist.
^ Remove air cleaner outlet tube.

NOTE: Hold EGR valve tube to manifold connector with a wrench while disconnecting EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube.

CAUTION: Use care not to damage EGR valve tube to manifold connector.

^ Disconnect EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube from EGR valve and EGR valve tube to manifold connector.
^ Lower vehicle.
^ Disconnect EGR pressure valve sensor hoses from EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube.
^ Disconnect vacuum hose from EGR valve.
^ Remove two retaining bolts from EGR valve.
^ Remove EGR valve, EGR valve gasket and EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube from vehicle.

INSTILLATION
^ Clean intake manifold sealing surface with a plastic tipped scraper to remove any residual EGR valve gasket material.

NOTE: Do not tighten EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube nut on EGR valve at this time.

^ Position EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube into EGR valve and loosely connect EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube nut to EGR valve.
^ Position EGR valve gasket, EGR valve and EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube into vehicle.
^ Install two bolts retaining EGR valve to intake manifold. Tighten bolts to 20-30 Nm (15-22 ft lb).
^ Connect vacuum hose to EGR valve.
^ Connect EGR pressure valve sensor hoses to EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube.
^ Raise vehicle.

NOTE: Hold EGR valve tube to manifold connector with a wrench while tightening EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube nut.

^ Connect EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube to EGR valve tube to manifold connector. Tighten EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube nuts to 35-45 Nm (26-33 ft lb).
^ Lower vehicle.
^ Install air cleaner outlet tube.
