Possible Symptoms:

  • In some cases, there may be performance problems, such as pinging on acceleration, when the engine is under load or when driving the vehicle at higher speeds

Possible Causes:

  • Restriction in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) passages, usually caused by carbon buildup

  • The EGR Valve is defective

  • Lack of proper vacuum or electrical signal to the EGR valve

  • Malfunctioning EGR Vacuum supply solenoid

  • Lack of proper EGR system feedback to the computer

Related Parts:

  • Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor: Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is an emissions reduction technique used in petrol and diesel engines. Problems lead to harmful emissions out of limit

Possible Solutions:

  • Before replacing any parts try cleaning the EGR valve, tube and passages.
