Egr Valve

Help your car engine, save the world! Okay, that line might sound exaggerated, but it really does make sense. In a little way, you can do something positive for our environment with a properly working Exhaust Gas Recirculating (EGR) Valve in your engine.

tems of a vehicle. It works by sucking some of the exhaust to the intake manifold and back into the combustion chamber. The exhaust gas then runs through the combustion again where traces of unburned fuel can now be used up. Aside from that, this valve enables your vehicle to burn fuel more effectively because exhaust gas is warmer than the air from the air intake. Warmer gas won't make the engine work harder to heat it up, thus making combustion easier. This part therefore plays a very important role by reducing unwanted engine emissions while, at the same time, facilitating a more complete burn of fuel.

When this valve acts up, this may result in an inefficient combustion and vacuum leak. And since the fuel isn't burned efficiently, this may lead to more fuel consumption. So when that happens, make sure to have your EGR valve cleaned and possibly replaced. After all, wouldn't you want your car to perform well and help save the world at the same time?
