i was told my egr valve needs to be replaced, so im wondering if the system cleaner will help at all. thanx
With an egr valve it's the diaphragm leaking,additives will not help that
unlikely. A EGR pulls unburnt gases out of your exhaust and recycles them into your intake. Gumout may well be burned interior your cylinders to get rid of carbon deposits in the block and not lots if any may well be waiting to get recycled on your EGR. you may eliminate your EGR and soak it in carburetor purifier in one day to loosen the deposits and then use a mild brush to get the obdurate airborne dirt and dirt out. be careful while soaking the valve nonetheless, the (i do no longer understand the technical term) rubber areas on the interior may well be broken by ability of carb purifier so attempt to soak as lots of the metallic areas as you may in it and shop that rubber area dry. $40 5 isn't undesirable for a clean valve by ability of ways. a clean one in my truck is over $a hundred and thats seen much less costly by ability of a few.
No it will not help, in any case, it is cheap to replace.
well it depends if it needs to be replaced or just cleaned. shops wont tell you to get it clean because they want to chjarge u as much as possible. get sombody u know to clean it by taking it off and using a brush and degreaser. the fuel cleaner wont clean the egr valve it only cleans the combustion chamber.
Not really. The EGR valves on newer cars have an electric solenoid that moves the plunger up and down via advice from the computer or engine management system. Probably 90% of the time the valve has a piece of carbon stuck in in that broke off iinside the intake manifold and or gas passages in the intake manifold leading to the EGR valve. They can remove the EGR valve and clean it out and reinstall it. A bad EGR valve will either have a bad solenoid coil, or the valve plunger is burned from the hot exhaust (from age and high mileage) gases not giving an air tight seal when it should be closed at idle. A fuel system cleaner is a good idea every 3K miles especially if you buy the really cheap gasoline that has a lot of alcohol in it. The alcohol creates more soot than pure gasoline or gasoline that has detergent added and this soot leads to the little carbon pieces that grow and collect in the intake manifold and on the injectors. Good Luck!
