What is the EVP Position Sensor all about?

Vehicle manufacturers have been improving methods of controlling vehicle emissions in their fossil-fuel burning engines since the introduction of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system in 1966. The EGR system brings exhaust gases containing unburned fuel back into the intake manifold where it goes through the combustion process again to cleanly burn the exhaust gases. As the EGR systems advanced, they went from using a vacuum system that controls the flow to an electric valve that opens, closes, and regulates the flow of exhaust gases.

The EGR system employs a valve position (EVP) sensor to detect the position of the gate allowing gases into the intake manifold. This EVP position sensor relays information back to the engine control module, which adjusts the amount of EGR valve flow to run most efficiently. The communication is performed several times per second and the EVP position sensor never ceases to operate while the engine is running.

If the EVP position sensor fails, the Check Engine light will come on. The engine may not start or run easily when cold.

Keep in mind:

Exhaust systems run extremely hot and should not be worked on until they’ve been allowed to completely cool down.
EVP problems have similar symptoms to many other issues and should be properly diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics.

How it's done:

The EVP sensor is faulty and needs replacement
The defective EVP sensor is removed
The new EVP sensor is installed
The engine is scanned for codes
The vehicle is road tested for proper operation and no check engine light comes on.

Our recommendation:

If you suspect you have a faulty EVP position sensor, have one of our expert mechanics perform a diagnostic test on the EGR system. Have the EVP position sensor replaced if necessary.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the EVP Position Sensor?

Check Engine light is on
Engine is difficult to start when cold
Engine runs rough when cold
Vehicle has failed a smog test

How important is this service?

In addition to failing a smog test, your vehicle’s engine may not start or run well on a cold start, or may run poorly at idle. Have the EVP position sensor replaced as soon as possible.

Kia Forte Koup L4-2.0L - Car is not starting - Tustin, California

Amazing!! Amazing!! I could not recommend Chris anymore than the utmost best mechanic out there. I had no idea what I was going to do when my car literally would not turn on last night. I was very very scared as I have no clue about anything about cars and I couldn't even get it out of my garage. I checked my oil and my oil was fine, so I thought UH-OH. What am I going to do?! I have no help or support system at all. I googled mechanics and "what to do if your car won't start." I came across YourMechanic and had no idea this service even existed! My only other option would have been to get a tow truck to get it to a mechanic and the tow would have been at least $400, PLUS the mechanic's prices. Yikes!! To have a mechanic come to your house and help you out with car troubles, boy what a Godsend. There was good communication from beginning to end via text, email, and Chris called ahead of time to let me know he was even going to be early! Woo hoo even better. He explained to me many options and was very thorough in ways he could even save me money by not even going through his company. Luckily, in my case it was a dead battery. He quickly went to the corner store, bought a battery, and came right back to my house, and even took a look at other things with my car that might need future attention and noticed how awful my AC filter was and replaced that as well! I am so so SO stoked to have found this company! Amazing all around. If you are all alone in this world and have no family or support system, like me and have no one to help you out, when your car goes DEAD!!, YourMechanic is the way to go! He was very knowledgeable about cars in general. Wonderful wonderful. I recommended to my roommate as well. I was starting to look at bus schedule routes, which were very confusing and I'm so grateful to have my car back today! I have to go on many job interviews and have night class next week and I was downright scared everything was going to fall through. This service is WONDERFUL!!
