Small point, but MAF has one job: inform computer of the rate of air delivery through the sensor. It has no idea what the state of the engine is and is a pure input used as a baseline. EGR does not affect its output. There are corrections to that input made using MAP and manifold air temp, and those do get affected some by egr operation [per engine rpm] - those computer corrections do not change MAF sensor response characteristics or output stability. Also, O2 [and AFR sensor if equipped] will force fuel trim corrections on the fly. If egr system fails closed, fuel trim goes positive to offset extra amount of oxygen rich air ingested. If egr fails open [least likely scenario], trim should go negative up to a certain rpm, tapering back to zero along the way..

You nailed it. God bless you. This video has saved me thousands of Naira in Nigeria 🇳🇬 . Mine is fixed, and the car is running smoothly while idling. God bless you

My car has been suffering from the 1st symptom for a few weeks now, when the engine is cold, there is noticeable vibration when idling at traffic stop, and when the auto transmission downshifts to full stop, the car felt like threatening to die off. Suspected bad engine mounting, bad spark plugs, and dirty O2 sensor. Went to a workshop, the guy checked and discounted all 3 causes. Then he decided to do EGR valve delete by blocking it off and voila now the symptom is gone.

thank you so much for this video. I think after watching this, I have figured out what's wrong with my car. a dealership had it for awhile for some other things like water pump, freeze plug, o rings, few others. I get mycar back and now it stalls while I'm driving and esp. while in park but not all the time, just sometimes-mostly when first started and taken somewhere. After I drive it and it warms up, it won't do it. It also while driving sometimes acts like it's in neutral-I will press the gas and nothing. rpm's do n't go up. the car won't move and after a min or so of that it'll jerk and go on down the road. My gas mileage has went down a lot quicker than it used to as well. Your video describes everything it's doing and a code reader did bring up Egr valve and Egr circuit control. Going to get egr replace and hope and pray this fixes the issue. I can't keep driving it like this.

This video helped alot. Had real bad rough idle on 07 4.0 mustang. The plugs, wires, and coil pack are brand new. I did notice a fuel smell but I thought maybe just typical car smell. I ended up buying a new OE motorcraft EGR valve after checking everything it could possibly be. Put the sucker (literally) in and the car runs like a dream at idle while in drive finally. Old one was pretty rusted out, dirty and was probably +10 years old so I guess it was just due to get replaced. Car barely has 100k but I'm fighting age instead of miles with this old ride.

The EGR valve on my 2008 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6 has small hole on the back side that sucks in air. The hole is factory made. I did a smoke test and its the only place smoke came out of. I'm having a problem with rough idle once the engine warms up. It runs great while otherwise. This EGR valve is a replacement for one that did the same thing.

Some adjustments can be done through VCDs but not sure if that comes under your requirement else could do a full ecm remap. If you adjust via vcds performance ranges can vary and might throw a check engine light if readings go beyond accepted range.

I just finished cleaning and reassembling the EGR, and after starting the ICE, white smoke with a chemical odor is coming from behind the engine. I did spill the coolant that was in the EGR into the engine bay, so I thought it might just be evaporating, but it's not coming from where it seemed to spill. I turned the car off as soon as I noticed, but despite running for only a minute or so the exhaust manifold was already extremely hot. Not sure how normal that is. I was leaning on the engine pretty heavily while getting some of the trickier nuts; I wouldn't think that would damage anything but the thought did occur to me. Any advice would be appreciated.

@dailyhandsdiy

Жыл бұрын

If its a high mileage vehicle, its quite normal to hear a bit more knocking for the first 10 to 15 mins or bit more. Its egr that causes the difference. EGR stays closed for that period of time till the engine temp reaches a stage. If the thermostat is not closed properly, can cause more time to get engine hot. So the engine fires up and runs better without egr and cause knocking noise and a bit more vibration. This settles downs when egr opens up and smoothens the engine. This also happens if the egr is sticking intermittently. Also do clean the nozzle tips if its not cleaned before. Note. These are just some guesses have to do a proper check up.

Hi, great video. I have these issues and from your video, it looks like EGR issue. If the MAF sensor is disconnected, then the car goes fine. Would long term use without MAF sensor cause other issues? One garage told me that the DPF won't regenerate without MAF connected? I'm now also seeing a code (P0136) for heated O2 sensor. Any ideas what that means as well. Thanks

Hi there, i din get how you pressed it. Most egr if opened more than its command to, engine dies. It doesn't mean the egr is bad, it means when you handled one, the port must have opened more than it should be. You may check each egr by dismantling them and suck through the pipe and see if it it closes properly. Also a bad maf sensor can cause this. The one which stalled must have a cleaner maf sensor so it read the change in intake flow. When egr opened up more it consumes more gas from exhaust causing no fresh air or limited fresh air to be inhaled. maf senses this and cuts the fuel off. If maf is not clean, or bad it cannot respond to the intke change and provides normal fuel rates when at idle.

It doesn't mean the egr is faulty or stuck open, if its stuck open you will get a trouble code on performance variation related to maf sensor. The one with good clean egr stalls, but the other might have stuck closed gate path or the soot must have chocked the path. You may check it, just remove it first visualy check for soot, next check if its properly closed or stuck partially open. press in the diaphram and check the valve n plunger opens up and closes smoothly. Also check the vacuum on the line. If the control solenoid is bad, things get messy too. Also if you have a obd scanner cross check the maf sensor reading ie air flow on both cars if one is higher than other.

Hi there, appologies for the late reply...you may delete the egr if it make troubles and cannot resolve. remember you are violating emission control rules. And the pros are much better low end torque and initial take off, a slight smooth rev, gas mileage depends the way one drives, clean engine, slow carbon deposit in engine oil. Cons include failing emission tests, a slight more engine noise, chances of knocking. Once the egr is deleted, keep the engine rev lower most of the time so the piston crowns n head gasket wont get burnt. Im sure you will get enough power at the low revs to take off and overtake.

@dailyhandsdiy

2 жыл бұрын

Hi there, when the vacuum line is broken, egr shuts close and more fresh air gets in. ie more oxygen for efficient combustion. This can lead to a small knocking noise from the engine. And as more fresh air gets in, the oxygen levels at exhaust might have gone high. Probably this might be the reason oxygen sensor code had shown up. Or the sensor might be broken. A broken sensor too can cause timing n injection deflections causing the engine to knock. Check, clean or replace the oxygen sensor first to see if knocking goes away.

EGR is actually controled by ECM itself. ecm uses readings from map, maf and pedal position sensor to calculate the engine load demands. All these are used to control the egr functions. Try cleaning all the intake air sensors first and using a scanner check if each and every sensor has a good reading especially map. Check the wiring for any damages.

Hi there, do check the hoses n clamps for loose connection. Sometimes a loose clamp with tight pipe leaks coolant while running because of fluid running pressure but not at low engine speeds n idle. If there isn't any external leaks, the chances are headgasket or the egr cooler may have internal leaks. Do check the engine oil if its mixing with coolant.

If its the oil cooler, practically oil should be the one going down as it has more working pressure than coolant which travels to coolant side. If its an external leak then ok. else, you may have to flush the entire cooling system or might end up blowing your engine.

Is it possible for an EGR valve to be dirty enough for it causes mileage loss but not dirty enough where it will throw a code

@dailyhandsdiy

2 жыл бұрын

Yes absolutely, if the valve is dirty enough, which makes it not able to close properly, or not able open properly can make huge differences. If the valve is completely stuck with zero movement,can throw a code. but otherwise, a code related to MAF sensor performance code is stored in the temporary memory of ecm which will not lit the engine management light. but results in the performance of the car. For newer cars with latest emission standards, this might be less seen for most cars as a small change in egr flow lits the CEL right up.

Hi mate I hope you can give some opinion, my car is a turbo diesel 10 year old with 73k miles, just recently I'm having intermittent power loss but no engine light coming on every time, but once I turn the engine off and restart it fixes itself and the power comes back as normal. The car has had major service, including fuel filter, the engine sounds okay, idle is stable and no smoke, only there's no boost when it happens and the rpm wouldn't even go over 2k. My question is do you think it's an EGR issue at all? Or something else? And why do you think there's no engine light?

@dailyhandsdiy

2 жыл бұрын

hi there, yes its common for egr to get stuck and cause similar issues without engine light to pop up. ECM may or maynot show a MAF performance range malfunction code when this happens but with no CEL. This same could happen if the air intake sensors (especially MAF n MAP) are dirty and misreads the air volume data. Either its a fresh air starvation or misreading, or its a fuel starvation.

If there's a leak,when at idle air gets into the line and the fuel pump takes time to fill up. And yes there's a fuel temp sensor in the engine, do check that too.
