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.

Toyota Avalon V6-3.0L - Rear motor mount replacement - Las Vegas, Nevada
Dave put in an extra effort on this service. This job was way underbid at 2 hours - was at least a 6 hour job plus machine shop work. This motor mount is something special. Toyota ran the axle though the mount for a few years - made this job a real pain. Dave is a real pro, highly recommend him; and hope he will still work for me after getting underpaid for this one.

Toyota Avalon V6-3.0L - Starter - Saint Louis, Missouri
I was very nervous about this company. I had already had the go around with three other companies, so when I booked an appointment for Tony, I really wasn't holding out much hope. Tony called 45 minutes prior to my appointment and told me he was on his way. He showed up 15 minutes later. Without hesitation, he started work and was done in one hour. I was shocked! My personal friend, who has worked on my car for years, could not have done what he did without some sort of miracle from God! I love Tony! He was professional, informative, and very, very accommodating! I have to be honest, when I called this company, I actually thought it was some type of scam. I am so glad I trusted my gut! I cannot be without my car. Knowing that someone can come to my office and work on my car takes away so much stress from my life! Who can afford to leave their car at the mechanic shop for two days while they figure things out? Not me! I love 'Your Mechanic" and I am so happy I found them! I have told everyone I know!!! I highly recommend them! After the professionalism Tony showed, I'd be a fool to go anywhere else. What I really liked, was that my friend quoted me over $300 to do the same job that "Your Mechani" did it for only $70! Granted, I bought my own part but still... Even if they provided the part, it still would have been $100 cheaper! I will never go anywhere else! What a great concept! What a great mechanic! A great company! Highly recommended
