hey well i might have come up with a way to fix my Egr problem for good. i bought a use lower intake from a friend and there is a small freeze plug in the front on the Egr pipe i cam up with the idea of drilling that plug out and tapping a stud in it my idea is that when the egr pipe gets clogged like they all do i can undo the plug and egr and push the carbon through. ill put picks up but tell me what you think.
-
I am not sure that would work in California.
-
dont be a puss pull the bulb (it may take more $ thrown at this problem but eventually youll pull it) or fit it its only money$$$$

Might work, but I found that I couldn't push a wire all the way through the EGR tube. It would tend to stall about halfway through after a couple of bends.
What about just taking the mounts, cutting the tube off and drilling it out. Then welding a larger tube onto the existing mounts. Or even replacing it with hose/steel braided line so you could just pull the it off when it clogged up?

Thats the ticket! that sounds like a perfect idea, might take some work but making that revoable would be the hot sh*t!

is this the EGR valve?
-
no thats the vacum. follow that big tube down and thats the EGR its self.
-
found it, does not look like fun to remove it. mines pretty rusted
-
I'm confuse here... ??? i see the vacum and like you guys said i follow the tube, and it's bolt to a block with another vacum. my question is what do i clean??
-
the one bolted to the block is the EGR should have like two bolts holding it there...10mm you take that off clean that then there are two tubes inside the block that are mostlikley clogged, thats wut im fixing. one goes to the intake one to the exhaust. pain in the rear to do...
-
Can't you just block off the EGR with a plate? That's what I usually do with the older trucks but never done one for a Tracker.
-
Correct me if im wrong.. doesnt the EGR valve control emissions? the check engine light is on and the EGR code pops up, so mine must be clogged as well. What is the benifit of fixing this? Better gas mpg? Hp? I dont have a clue

Thanks S.Sidekick!!

I know it helps the engine idle better. Other then that, I have no idea.
Here is a good write up on the EGR Issues and fixes.

question guys? Where on the EGR valve does that "big tube" attach??? I had my vacum stolen by a shop, so when i went to hook it up to the new EGR i just installed i couldn't figure out what went where.
Help?

The egr helps gas mileage to. i went to pass emission and the light was on so i unplugged my battery cleared the code took the test and passed so dont worry about emmisions. it puts exhasut gases back into the intake then uses them reducing gas consumtion. before my EGR went out i was getting 31mpg wit 30's and since then im down to 24.4 and that was messured today. NO DIfFERENT DRIVEING STYLE EITHER. The guys at puyallup suzuki said it wont hurt anything to have it out except gas mileage and maybe power.

I have a fully functional EGR system, I replaced the broken parts and Dusty Badlands secured me an EGR regulator like the one pictured. My problem is i need someone with a shop manual to tell me what tubes hook up to what between the actual EGR and the EGR regulator on my 16V Cal Em. motor.

I like the ideia, but why is your EGR pluging up so quick? Are you burning oil? You should not have that much carbon in the EGR stream. Generally the plugging comes from the cooling and condensing of the EGR gasses dropping the carbon deposit / build up. That is why the build up occures at the intake port, because it is cooler.
WoW this post contains soo much bad information.... Where do I start???
The EGR by function recirculates exhaust gas (inert) into the intake at preset driving conditions. This reduces combustion temperatures. It is the extreemly high combustion temps that create the bad emissions. The EGR in good working condition doesn't have much relation to fuel milage or performance. A plugged EGR shouldn't have much effect on milage or performance either. The Computer seeing the EGR fail the MAP test and setting the check engine light, thus kicking the EFI into open loop or limp mode is what kills MPG and performance.
An EGR hung partially open or leaking on the intake side (thus supplying an unmetered vacuum leak at all throttle positions) could cause a loss of performance and reduced efficency.
Otherwise the EGR doesn;t control or even function at idle. I have actually driven around with a vacuum guage taped to my windshield and T'ed into my EGR. Here you can learn when the EGR actually functions.
-
The EGR does not operate at low loads/low rpms or at high load/high rpms. There is a small improvement in efficiency when it does operate because the additional gasses introduced into the cylinders increase cylinder pressure and improve combustion. There is no reason for the ECU to adopt either open loop or limp mode if the EGR alone is defective but it will retard timing to prevent pre-ignition caused by higher combustion temperatures.

I was reading this the other day and found it quite interesting http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_110577/article.html

The EGR reduces NOX emissions, by slowing down the combustion in the cylinder
