    Q:
    What is the purpose and operation of the EGR Vacuum Solenoid and EGR Valve on Chevrolet Caprice? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The system reduces exhaust-emitted nitrogen oxides by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas. The EGR valve, on the intake manifold, is central to this system. Two EGR valve types exist: negative and positive backpressure. It's inactive at idle and during deceleration, controlled by a thermal vacuum switch. EGR issues can cause rough idling and performance. To inspect, ensure the diaphragm plate moves freely and observe engine speed changes when manually depressed. Examine vacuum lines for blockages. Test the thermal vacuum switch with a gauge, replacing if faulty. For EGR valve replacement, disconnect vacuum hose, remove, and install a new valve with a gasket. For the switch, drain coolant, remove, and install a new one.

    Q:
    What is the purpose and function of the EGR Vacuum Solenoid and EGR Valve on Pontiac Firebird? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system reduces NOx emissions by reintroducing exhaust gas into the combustion chamber via the EGR valve on the intake manifold. This valve, opened by manifold vacuum, operates primarily during warm engine conditions above idle. The system adjusts gas flow based on manifold vacuum and exhaust backpressure, using a negative backpressure valve. An ECM-controlled solenoid refines EGR flow, receiving input from various sensors. Excessive EGR can cause stalling or surging, while insufficient flow might lead to engine overheating or emission issues. To maintain the system, inspect hoses and connections, ensure EGR valve operation, and check the solenoid. Replace faulty parts and clean the valve and passages when needed.
