Basically, it recirculates a portion of your exhaust gas back into the engine’s intake. Sounds kinda crazy, right? But it's a key part of controlling emissions and keeping things running smoothly. It opens and closes to let those gases flow back around, and it's controlled by the engine computer. A lot of times they have electronic controls now, but some are vacuum – operated. It’s really about reducing those nasty nitrogen oxides – NOx – that come out of the exhaust. Those are big contributors to smog. By reintroducing some exhaust gas, it lowers combustion temperatures inside the engine. Lower temps mean less NOx is created. It's like adding a little bit of coolant to the burn, if that makes sense. It also helps with fuel economy a little bit and can prevent engine knock in some cases. If this valve fails, you’ll notice if it's stuck open. You’ll probably get rough idling, maybe the engine stalls, and your gas mileage will drop. If it's stuck closed, you'll likely fail an emissions test and you could eventually cause damage to other engine components. It acts like a shield against harmful pollutants, and when it isn't working correctly, those emissions go up. You can find a good replacement for a fair price over at Fixparts Online, and honestly, tackling this yourself can save you a bunch on labor. If you are comfortable doing it, it's usually a pretty straightforward repair. We’re here to help: EGR Valve (MPN ADBP740011) includes a 12-month warranty!
