EGR Valve Flow
- Disconnect vacuum hose from EGR valve. Connect vacuum pump to EGR valve. Start engine and allow engine to idle. Slowly apply vacuum to EGR valve.
- Engine idle speed should begin to decrease, or engine may stall, when applied vacuum reaches 5.0 in. Hg on RWD trucks, or 2.0-3.5 in. Hg on FWD vans. This indicates EGR valve is operating properly. If EGR valve does not operate correctly, remove EGR valve and check for restricted exhaust passages.
