egr valve replacement

Hello,

You must start with the engine cold because it is by the intake manifold and you don't want to burn yourself. Here is a video on how to test the valve once you have it off. This EGR on this car is electronic.

Here are diagrams that will help you remove the valve on your car

Engine light is on, computer diagnosis indicates EGR Flow Insufficient. Looking for detailed instructions on how to remove and clean/replace EGR valve and hose.

REMOVAL If the EGR system operates incorrectly, replace the entire EGR valve and transducer together. The EGR valve and electrical transducer are calibrated together. Remove the air cleaner lid, disconnect the inlet air temperature sensor and makeup air hose. Remove the negative battery cable. Fig.5 EGR Tube At Intake Manifold

Loosen the bolts at the intake manifold Remove EGR tube bolts at EGR Valve. Fig.6 EGR Transducer Bracket

Fig.7 EGR Transducer Bracket

Unclip EGR transducer bracket, and remove from bracket. Fig.8 Vacuum Hose

Disconnect the vacuum supply hose to EGR transducer solenoid. Fig.9 Electrical Connector

Unlock the connector then disconnect the electrical connector from solenoid. Remove the 2 bolt at EGR valve to cylinder head. Remove EGR valve and transducer. Clean gasket surfaces. Discard old gaskets. If necessary, clean EGR passages. INSTALLATION Connect vacuum supply tube to solenoid. Attach electrical connector to solenoid. Install EGR transducer into the bracket and snap closed. Loosely install EGR valve with new gaskets. Finger tighten EGR tube fasteners. Tighten EGR valve mounting screws to 22 N.m (195 in. lbs.) torque. Tighten EGR tube fasteners to 11 N.m (97 in. lbs.) torque. NOTE: Make sure that the hoses are routed away from the hot EGR tube and Valve and clipped. Install the negative battery cable. Install the air cleaner lid, connect the inlet air temperature sensor and makeup air hose.

Engine Mechanical problem

Engine in my 2001 PTCruiser locked up. I bought low mile used engine without realizing that my car had EGR valve and used engine DOES NOT have EGR value. Can I somehow modify things to use this new engine or am I SOL?

For example, the head on my old engine likely is OK. Can I use old head on new lower unit?

Or can I use new engine if I replace computer? (I assume original computer would throw a code if engine did not have EGR)

You help greatly appreciated!

Hi SRPMO, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation.

For example, the head on my old engine likely is OK. Can I use old head on new lower unit? I will go with this direction. Computer/Reflashing is much more than a headgasket
