EGR Valve
- Start engine and run at idle. Detach vacuum hose from thermo valve (vacuum amplifier on 2.3L Calif. models). Attach hose directly to manifold vacuum source.
- Engine should stall or idle roughly. If not, turn engine off and remove EGR valve and pipe from engine. Clean passages with brush and wire. Reinstall items and repeat test.
- If engine still does not stall or idle roughly, replace EGR valve. When system functions as indicated, return vacuum hose to original position.
