What are the symptoms of a faulty exhaust gas valve?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a faulty exhaust gas valve are as follows: 1. The EGR valve is stuck in the fully open position and cannot close completely: This can cause the engine to stall at idle or exhibit unstable idling, as well as produce large amounts of black smoke during operation. It may also be accompanied by a decrease in engine power. 2. The EGR valve passage is clogged with deposits: If the normally closed solenoid valve or valve seat accumulates deposits or impurities, it can lead to incomplete closure when the solenoid coil is de-energized, resulting in unstable engine idling, failure to start, backfiring in the intake manifold, or stalling. 3. Insufficient power during high-speed engine operation: If the engine experiences power loss or speed drops, this indicates that the EGR valve cannot close properly.
