I love your channel, and all of your videos Scotty. Lately I've watched the "EGR cleaning" video and the "clamp for radiator hoses" videos. I always learn so much here. I don't want to spend oodles of cash at the shop when I can do most of this myself, and having mostly older vehicles (1990 F250 XLT, 1998 Nissan Sentra [insert sad face here], 2000 Mazda Protege) I would be spending more than just oodles to get them running decently again. I'm getting a bit more comfortable tackling larger repairs, and I wanted to thank you for making these jobs a little easier to handle. Keep up the good work and REV THOSE ENGINES!

Took my '94 dodge colt to 2 different professionals who couldn't diagnose why the car was running poorly. I started doing some googling and youtubing... thought clogged egr sounded right. Man that thing had chunks of carbon coming out... ran like a top after that. Learned something about my car and " professional " mechanics

On this particular V6 Toyota engine that he's working on, the old 3VZE (which I have) also exists the EGR probe (~6" long) which goes inside the intake plenum next to the EGR. That should be removed and cleaned as well as it gets corroded with deposits. And as you will see, there is also the EGR Modulator in front of the EGR which looks similar in that it has a round top. The EGR Modulator has 3 vacuum hoses (P, Q, R). There is a small disc-shaped filter in the top of this unit and it should be removed and cleaned out. Other things to look for in this smog system are the PAIR reed valve unit (further behind and lower from EGR), the Evap "charcoal" cannister on rear left fender, and lastly, check the inlet / oulet temps of the Catalytic converter with a laser thermometer which should be ~80 to 100 degrees in difference for a working cat If under 75, the cat is on its way out.. If under 50..replace it! Replacing the oxygen sensor down there is also not a bad idea. Those are all the main smog items on this engine.

You really don’t want to soak the EGR valve upside down - that diaphragm is made from material, not metal, and the carb cleaner or solvent can actually destroy that. It may also be a good idea to try to clean the passages that you see, when the EGR valve is off the car, as carbon can block those passages as well.

Am I better off replacing it myself or cleaning it myself? Should i ask if it just needs to be cleaned and not replaced? What questions should I ask? Also my car runs very smoothly.

i make sure my egr valve is clean by cleaning it with every oilchange but i drive like a fuckin maniac racing from stop light to stop light. my gas pedal has only 2 modes: on and off. +1 for keeping the environment clean #greenearth #dontpollute #itrusttheEPA #dieselgate

Shame the video applies only to EGR's from over twenty years ago,not relevant on anything even remotely modern with electronic egrs,those old mechanical egrs are cheap to replace anyway and determined by how much build up you encounter if you don't clean the orifices to and from, including any fitted cooler you could still be left with a fault regardless.

Best thing to do is block that off with a thin piece of metal, that way the exhaust and carbon doesn't get in there to stop it up.

Should use a penetrating fluid such as PB Blaster on the threads to get the EGR off instead of WD 40.

What?? PB Blaster and WD40 were designed to do two different things. PB Blaster in a corrosive that eats rust and is also a lubricant. WD40 is a cleaner, degreaser and protectant; not a lubricant and is crap compared to Zep, Liquid Wrench and PB Blaster.

I've cleaned my egr valve about 3 times, replaced it with a new one, checked all lines, and my car still runs better with it unplugged

. Okay but if you bypass the egr valve won't the engine light come on ? The reason I'm asking is because my former mechanic sold me a 1995 Toyota Camry and the engine light would come on when the weather was hot but it would go off by itself when the weather was cool I found out that I had a trouble code 71 egr related I cleaned the egr valve and the code didn't go away I went underneath the car to look for the egr vsv solenoid valve and noticed that one of the little vacuum hoses was discontinued purposely my former mechanic had done a bypass on the egr and not only that the other two little vacuum hoses that are connected to the vsv valve were switched I found this out after looking at the Haynes repair manual to find out the proper location for each hoses so I reconnected the 3 little vacuum hoses in their proper place and the engine light issue was fixed . That is why I'm asking this question because I'm thinking if my engine will run better if I bypass the egr valve it might be worth doing it I can always reconnect the hoses back in their proper place when the time comes to smog the car.

0:32 sounds like your saying pumping hot exhaust gases into the intake manifold makes the engine run cooler . maybe no hot exhaust into the intake would make it cooler so it doesn't create nitrogen
