EGR Valves

An EGR valve is a vital component of an vehicle's emissions system and is designed to reduce exhaust emissions.

The EGR valve works by diverting some of the exhaust gases back into the intake air stream, allowing the combustion chamber to be filled with an accurate air-fuel mixture when the engine is running.

This helps to reduce the emissions produced from engine's combustion.

A correctly functioning EGR valve is essential for correct emissions control and managing the fuel economy of your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

Q1: What is an EGR Valve?

A1: An EGR valve, or Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve, is a device that helps reduce emissions by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back into the intake manifold to be burned again.

Q2: How does an EGR Valve work?

A2: An EGR valve opens and closes based on various engine parameters, such as air-fuel ratio, engine speed, and temperature. When open, it allows a portion of the exhaust gas to be diverted back into the intake manifold where it mixes with the incoming air-fuel mixture and reduces engine emissions. This recirculated exhaust gas cools the combustion chamber and reduces the formation of nitrogen oxides, which are a major contributor to air pollution.

Q3: How do I know if my EGR valve is faulty?

A3: The most common symptom of a faulty EGR valve is an increase in emissions and possibly a decrease in fuel economy. If you experience an increase in emissions or a decrease in fuel economy, it may be time to check your vehicle's EGR valve and make sure it's functioning properly.
