My EGR solution
« on: May 16, 2008, 08:52:51 AM »
hey well i might have come up with a way to fix my Egr problem for good.  i bought a use lower intake from a friend and there is a small freeze plug in the front on the Egr pipe i cam up with the idea of drilling that plug out and tapping a stud in it  my idea is that when the egr pipe gets clogged like they all do i can undo the plug and egr and push the carbon through.  ill put picks up but tell me what you think.

Might work, but I found that I couldn't push a wire all the way through the EGR tube.  It would tend to stall about halfway through after a couple of bends.

What about just taking the mounts, cutting the tube off and drilling it out.  Then welding a larger tube onto the existing mounts.  Or even replacing it with hose/steel braided line so you could just pull the it off when it clogged up?

Thats the ticket! that sounds like a perfect idea, might take some work but making that revoable would be the hot sh*t!

the one bolted to the block is the EGR should have like two bolts holding it there...10mm  you take that off clean that then there are two tubes inside the block that are mostlikley clogged, thats wut im fixing.  one goes to the intake one to the exhaust.  pain in the rear to do...

Can't you just block off the EGR with a plate? That's what I usually do with the older trucks but never done one for a Tracker.

Correct me if im wrong.. doesnt the EGR valve control emissions?  the check engine light is on and the EGR code pops up, so mine must be clogged as well.  What is the benifit of fixing this? Better gas mpg? Hp?      I dont have a clue

I know it helps the engine idle better.  Other then that, I have no idea.

Here is a good write up on the EGR Issues and fixes.

question guys?  Where on the EGR valve does that "big tube" attach???  I had my vacum stolen by a shop, so when i went to hook it up to the new EGR i just installed i couldn't figure out what went where.
Help?
