egr valve

[pug]

Has anyone taken egr valve and egr tube off. Does anyone know what size threads are for the threaded egr tube that screws into bottom of intake. thanks

I had a heck of a time trying to get a plug to thread into the egr port in the manifold. So much so that I ended up just cutting the tube, crimping it, and welding the seam shut. Works like a charm :clapping:

I did the same thing. It works!. Mine just whistles when I give it gas until its warmed up.

 

I probably did it wrong...

Well after 2hrs at autopart store i found it. Part# 65223 (m22x1.5) its a dodge diesel oilpan drain plug. Hope this helps anyone else trying to do this.

If you're planing to put that plug in the intake manifold it will be fine. If in the exhaust you might want to check it a few times as some of the drain plugs are of very porous metal and i'm pretty sure it's going to swell shrink a few times. One i bought at napa was hollowed out and had a seam like it was cast at 1200 degrees something designed for only 200 degree location may not hold up to well.

If you are putting a plug on the exhaust manifold, make sure its on tight and not going anywhere!

 

I had after market headers on my 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a plug for the Oxygen Sensor hole,

I was "haulin @$$" on the on ramp on hwy 321 and a loud bang with a horrible engine noise after.

The exhaust pressure shot the plug off the pipe and made a dent in my hood. I had to have the hole welded over because the threads where stripped.

Yes it is going on the intake manifold not exhaust manifold.
