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.

Pontiac Aztek V6-3.4L - Oil Change - Alameda, California

After one cancellation (by Your Mechanic) and confusion on the date of my rescheduled appointment, Steve arrived ahead of schedule and even called first to make sure it was OK to arrive early. He was in and out in 30 minutes to change oil on my car. Very satisfied with the work.

Pontiac Aztek V6-3.4L - Car will not turn over - Jonesboro, Georgia

Tavaris listened thoughtfully to a history of the problem, then checked logical possibilities, and found the culprit in a matter of minutes. Coming back to change out the starter and do some much-needed maintenance that I actually asked for, i.e., not trying to sell me stuff, tho did observe some issues I wasn't aware of, which I was glad to add to the list. Tavaris answered questions and explained things well, even tho, as it turned out, he was having a difficult day himself - a nice guy.

Whitney was very thorough. I appreciated that he took time to make sure the rest of my vehicle was sound while he completed the coolant flush. He had several tips for improving the life of my vehicle. His casual suggestions for future service will arrive in a quote.
