EGR valve question


Recommended Posts

So I removed my egr valve today to clean it and the saucer looking thing egr transducer? that is attached to it by hoses rattles like it has loose material inside when i shake it is this normal?

 

Off topic i noticed that my 89 manche standard doesnt have an rpm guage? Sorry this is my first owned stick and that just doesnt seem right

The Tach (rpm guage) was a trim level option. Was not standard in either the auto or the 5spd.

The entire assembly bolted to the manifold is the EGR, the transducer is mounted beside that a little closer to the firewall. The EGR valve is a simple vacuum operated diaphragm valve. Mounts with two bolts and has a big saucer looking thing on it (that's the diaphragm part). If you are removing the system, a simple block off plate can be placed on the manifold (use the gasket as a template). The transducer is right next to it ... Not really sure how to test it ... Never kept mine long enough to bother testing it. I do know the engine system really only operates at WOT, and will kill the engine at idle if it opens.
