  1. Check Vacuum Source To EGR Valve

    Start engine and allow it to warm up. Set engine speed between 2000-4000 RPM. Disconnect vacuum hose to EGR valve. Verify vacuum exists. If no vacuum exists, inspect vacuum hose for clogging, cracks or improper connection. If vacuum exists, go to next step.
