EGR VALVE CLEANING on Cadillac?


EGR VALVE CLEANING



Valves That Protrude from Mounting Face

WARNING
Do not wash the valve assembly in solvents or degreasers - permanent damage to the valve diaphragm may result.

  1. Remove the vacuum hose from the EGR valve assembly. Remove the two attaching bolts, remove the EGR valve from the intake manifold and discard the gasket.
  2. Holding the valve assembly in hand, tap the valve lightly with a small plastic hammer to remove exhaust deposits from the valve seat. Shake out any loose particles. DO NOT put the valve in a vise.
  3. Carefully remove any exhaust deposits from the mounting surface of the valve with a wire wheel or putty knife. Do not damage the mounting surface.
  4. Depress the valve diaphragm and inspect the valve seating area through the valve outlet for cleanliness. If the valve and/or seat are not completely clean, repeat Step 2.
  5. Look for exhaust deposits in the valve outlet, and remove any deposits with an old screwdriver.
  6. Clean the mounting surfaces of the intake manifold and valve assembly. Using a new gasket, install the valve assembly to the intake manifold. Torque the bolts to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm). Connect the vacuum hose.
Shielded Valves or Valves That Do Not Protrude
  1. Clean the base of the valve with a wire brush or wheel to remove exhaust deposits from the mounting surface.
  2. Clean the valve seat and valve in an abrasive-type spark plug cleaning machine or sandblaster. Most machine shops provide this service. Make sure the valve portion is cleaned (blasted) for about 30 seconds, and that the valve is also cleaned with the diaphragm spring fully compressed (valve unseated). The cleaning should be repeated until all deposits are removed.
  3. The valve must be blown out with compressed air thoroughly to ensure all abrasive material is removed from the valve.
  4. Clean the mounting surface of the intake manifold and valve assembly. Using a new gasket, install the valve assembly to the intake manifold. Torque the bolts to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm). Connect the vacuum hose.
