Too clean the EGR valve....

[pyrokilla]

Is there 2? One off the passenger side header and one in the throttle body? Sorry for the stupid question..Does cleaning this help? I dout mine has ever been cleaned. Oh also do you need the EGR hooked to the header? I noticed Pacesetter headers do not have a port for it? Is it needed?

there is one coming of the passenger header/exhaust manifold. it can be cleaned. i had to do it when i first got the car. it was sticking keeping it wide open which was throwing a code. as for egr being hooked up, it should be if you dont want to have a code or you can do a search on how to delete it or reroute it.

the egr delete/reroute was dicussed recently here

Depending on the miles on your car, it might need to be cleaned. My car was recently in the shop, an dmine was almost completely clogged. Needless to say, thats what was causing it to run rough.

i dont think that cleaning will do any good, because you dont want that **** in your intake anyway, i suggest doing the egr reroute too

What does the EGR do?

Exhaust Gas Recirculation...recycles exhaust gas which may not have been completly burned up, giving you better gas mileage and heats up your engine a little quicker when cold

Thank you.

either delete it (if you don't care about it taking longer to warm up in the winter and a possible SES and don't have state inspections) or buy a new one is my suggestion. You don't want to get any of that crap when you clean it into your intake like mentioned above, and it's probably rusted on tighter than welding it on and it would be a mess to take on and off. I haven't read about the reroute yet so I don't know about it's advantages/disadvantages.

I think to delete it would be best. It does not even snow here in the winters. Yeah, I'll look up on deleting it..
