EGR GAS FLOW TEST
Use the following test procedure to determine if
exhaust gas is flowing through the EGR valve. It can
also be used to determine if the EGR tube is plugged,
or the system passages in the intake or exhaust man-
ifolds are plugged.
This is not to be used as a complete test of the
EGR system.
The engine must be started, running and warmed
to operating temperature for this test.
(1) All engines are equipped with two fittings
located on the EGR valve (Fig. 5). The upper fitting
(located on the vacuum motor) supplies engine vac-
uum to a diaphragm within the EGR valve for valve
operation. The lower fitting (located on the base of
the EGR valve) is used to supply exhaust back-pres-
sure to the EGR valve control.
(2) Disconnect the rubber hose at the vacuum
motor fitting (Fig. 5) on the top of the EGR valve
vacuum motor.
(3) Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to this fit-
ting.
(4) Start the engine.
(5) Slowly apply 5 inches of vacuum to the fitting
on the EGR valve motor.
(6) While applying vacuum, a minimum of 3 inches
of vacuum, and with the engine running at idle
speed, the idle speed should drop or the engine may
even stall, if the vacuum is applied quickly. This is
indicating that exhaust gas is flowing through the
EGR tube between the intake and exhaust manifolds.
(7) If the engine speed did not change, the EGR
valve may be defective, or EGR tube may be plugged
with carbon, or the passages in the intake and
exhaust manifolds may be plugged with carbon.
(a) Remove EGR valve from engine. Refer to
EGR Valve Removal in this group.
(b) Apply vacuum to the vacuum motor fitting
and observe the stem on the EGR valve. If the
stem is moving, it can be assumed that the EGR
valve is functioning correctly. The problem is in
either a plugged EGR tube or plugged passages at
the intake or exhaust manifolds, refer to step (c). If
the stem will not move, replace the EGR valve.
Note: The EGR valve, valve control and attaching
hoses are serviced as one unit. Refer to EGR Valve
Removal/Installation in this group.
(c) Remove the EGR tube between the intake
and exhaust manifolds. Check and clean the EGR
tube and its related openings on the manifolds.
Refer to EGR Tube in this group for procedures.
(8) Do not attempt to clean the EGR valve. If the
valve shows evidence of heavy carbon build-up near
the base, replace it.
EGR VALVE LEAKAGE TEST
This is not to be used as a complete test of the
EGR system.
If the engine will not idle, dies out on idle, or idle
is rough or slow, the poppet valve (Fig. 4) at the base
of the EGR valve may be leaking in the closed posi-
tion.
(1) The engine should be off for the following test.
(2) Disconnect the rubber hose from the fitting
(Fig. 4) at the top (vacuum motor) side of the EGR
valve.
(a) Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to this
fitting.
(b) Apply 15 inches of vacuum to the pump.
(c) Observe the gauge reading on the pump.
(d) If vacuum falls off, the diaphragm in the
EGR valve has ruptured.
(e) Replace the EGR valve. Note: The EGR
valve, valve control and attaching hoses are ser-
viced as one assembly. Refer to EGR Valve Remov-
al/Installation in this group.
(f) Proceed to the next step.
(3) A small metal fitting (back-pressure fitting) is
located at the base of the EGR valve (Fig. 4). A rub-
ber back-pressure hose connects it to the back-pres-
sure fitting on the EGR valve control. Disconnect this
rubber hose at the EGR valve fitting.
(4) Remove the air cleaner housing from the throt-
tle body.
(5) Using compressed air, and using an air nozzle
with a rubber tip, apply approximately 50 psi of reg-
