What Does the EGR Valve Do?

EGR stands for exhaust gas recirculation. The valve allows unburned fuel and toxic exhaust to re-enter the combustion chamber to be fully consumed, increasing your fuel efficiency and lowering the number of pollutants that your engine puts into the air. Your engine is designed to work best when the EGR is supplying the correct mix of fumes into the engine. Over time, your EGR can become clogged with carbon build up which harms the performance of the vehicle. EGR valve service is recommended every 50,000 miles or more according to your owner’s manual.

What is Involved with the EGR Valve Service?

The EGR valve is located at the back of the engine. During EGR valve service, it is removed from the engine block, the valve housing is opened up and cleaned out using carburetor cleaner. The valve is checked for proper function. A new gasket is installed, the housing reassembled, and the valve reattached to the engine block. This service usually takes about an hour.
