Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cuts the NOx emissions by minimizing the combustion temperatures mainly with the help of EGA valve which helps in recycling the exhaust gasses into the combustion chamber. This type of valve is usually open during normal warm engine running and at above idle speed and the flow of gas is regulated with help of differences in vacuum and exhaust back pressure. There are three types of EGA valves: DEFINITIONS: Digital, Negative Backpressure, and Integrated Electronic. The Digital EGA valve correctly regulates exhaust gas delivery to the engine using a membrane controlled by a solenoid; the exhaust gas flow is regulated through incrementally-sized orifices. EGA valve with Negative Back Pressure is controlled with a diaphragm, which opens under the vacuum set by the engine while Integrated Electronic EGA valve has vacuum regulator and position sensor working in one housing and receives the variable current from the ECM to control the flow of exhaust gases with reference to the information obtained from the other sensors. To diagnose the Negative Backpressure EGR valve, one can check for play, look into changes in RPM when ever the push the diaphragm and check vacuum signals. In the Integrated Electronic EGR valve tests include applying vacuum and then observing its travel under various ignition status. It should be mentioned that the mentioned Digital EGR valve may be identified with the help of a special scan tool only. For the component replacement of the EGA valve, the vacuum hose or the electrical connection of the valve is removed; it is then detached from the intake manifold carefully, and cleaned of all deposits that have accumulated on it before the fresh valve, complete with a new gasket, is installed, with all surfaces having to be free of the old materials.
