Is there a way to test the EGR valve to see if its still good ? and working right .
Yes there is. Disconnect the rubber hose on top of the EGR valve. Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to this fitting. Start the engine. Slowly apply vacuum to the fitting on the valve. While applying vacuum with the engine running at idle speed, the idle speed should drop or the engine may even stall. In that case the valve is working. If the engine speed doesn't change, the EGR valve may be defective, or EGR tube may be plugged with carbon, or the passages in the intake and exhaust manifolds may be plugged with carbon. In this case remove the EGR valve from the engine. Again apply vacuum to the EGR valve and observe the stem on the EGR valve. If the stem is moving, it can be assumed that the EGR valve is ok. In that case clean the EGR tube and the intake and exhaust manifolds passages Hope this will help you.
