ulated shop air to the metal back- pressure fitting on
the EGR valve.
(6) By hand, open the throttle to the wide open
position. Air SHOULD NOT BE HEARD emitting
from the intake manifold while applying air pressure
at the back-pressure fitting.
(7) If air CAN BE HEARD emitting from the
intake manifold, the poppet valve (Fig. 4) is leaking
at the bottom of the EGR valve. Replace the EGR
valve. Note: The EGR valve, valve control and
attaching hoses are serviced as one assembly. Refer
to EGR Valve Removal/Installation in this group. Do
not attempt clean the old EGR valve.
EGR VALVE CONTROL (TRANSDUCER) TEST
TESTING ELECTRICAL SOLENOID PORTION
OF VALVE
This is not to be used as a complete test of the
EGR system.
Electrical operation of the valve should be checked
with the DRB scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service manual for
operation of the DRB scan tool. Replace solenoid if
necessary, unit serviced only as an assembly.
TESTING VACUUM TRANSDUCER PORTION
OF VALVE
The first part of this test will determine if the
transducer diaphragm at the back-pressure side of
the valve has ruptured or is leaking. The second part
of the test will determine if engine vacuum (full-man-
ifold) is flowing from the inlet to the outlet side of
the valve. This is not to be used as a complete test of
the EGR system.
(1) Disconnect the rubber back-pressure hose from
the fitting at the bottom of EGR valve (Fig. 4).
(2) Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to this fit-
ting.
(3) Apply 10 inches of vacuum to this fitting.
(4) If vacuum falls off, the valve diaphragm is
leaking.
(5) Replace the EGR valve assembly. Proceed to
next step for further testing.
(6) Remove the rubber hose at the vacuum inlet
fitting (Fig. 4) on the EGR valve.
(7) Connect a vacuum gauge to this disconnected
hose.
(8) Start the engine and bring to operating tem-
perature. Hold engine speed at approximately 1500
rpm.
(9) Check for steady engine vacuum (full-manifold)
at this hose.
(10) If
engine
vacuum
(full-manifold)
is
not
present, check vacuum line to engine and repair as
necessary before proceeding to next step.
(11) Reconnect the rubber hose to the vacuum
inlet fitting (Fig. 4) on the EGR valve.
(12) Disconnect the rubber hose at the vacuum
outlet fitting (Fig. 4) on the EGR valve.
(13) Connect a vacuum gauge to this fitting.
(14) Disconnect the electrical connector (Fig. 4) at
the valve control. This will simulate an open circuit
(no ground from the PCM) at the valve.
(15) Start the engine and bring to operating tem-
perature.
(16) Hold the engine speed to approximately 2000
rpm while checking for engine vacuum (full-manifold)
at this fitting. To allow full manifold vacuum to
flow through the valve, exhaust back-pressure
must be present at valve. It must be high
enough to hold the bleed valve in the trans-
ducer portion of the valve closed. Have a helper
momentarily (a second or two) hold a rag over the
tailpipe opening to build some exhaust back-pressure
while observing the vacuum gauge. Heavy gloves
should be worn. Do not cover the tailpipe open-
ing for an extended period of time as damage to
components or overheating may result.
(17) As temporary back-pressure is built, full man-
ifold vacuum should be observed at the vacuum out-
let fitting. Without back-pressure, and engine at
approximately 2000 rpm, the gauge reading will be
low. This low reading is normal. At idle speed, the
gauge reading will be erratic. This is also normal.
(18) If full manifold vacuum is not present at the
outlet fitting, but was present at the inlet fitting,
replace the valve. Note: The EGR valve, valve control
and attaching hoses are serviced as one assembly.
Refer to EGR Valve Removal/Installation in this
group.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
EGR VALVE SERVICE—3.0L ENGINES
The EGR valve and Electrical EGR Transducer are
serviced as an assembly.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the electric and vacuum connectors
from the electric EGR transducer (Fig. 6).
(2) Remove EGR valve mounting bolts.
(3) Clean all gasket surfaces and discard old gas-
kets. Check for any signs of leakage or cracked sur-
faces. Repair or replace as necessary.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install EGR valve and new gasket on intake
manifold. Tighten mounting bolts to 22 N·m (200 in.
lbs.) torque.
(2) Connect the electrical and vacuum connectors
to the electric EGR transducer.
