In Reply to: I GET IT!! If you put your finger up underneath the top part of the EGR valve, then rev the motor, you'll easily feel the valve move upward. Thanks Jeff. n/m posted by Aaron on September 25, 2002 at 16:45:55:
: : : : : : : : : Warm the engine up and make sure the EGR control valve spring responds to your touch (use your fingers) and also when the engine is raced (2000 rpms). The spring will be lifted up when the engine is at idle. And the spring will be down when you race the engine. If this happens, then the valve is fine. : : : : : : : : : If it doesn't respond, then you have a problem. And there are other steps listed to diagnose the problem. This is straight out of a 92 Maxima FSM for the VG motor. The procedure is the same with the VE motor also.
: : : : ie.. sticking a few fingers under the "cap" of the egr and seeing if you can get the valve to move or not(ie.. to see if it's stuck from carbon build up)
