Scott, my Dad had a shop in Hayward California in te late 60's and early 70's. He also drag raced. He used to charge $35. To remove the smog pump, and other pollution equipment. Used brass plugs in the exhaust manifolds. He would guarantee better gas milage and more power. He is in Heaven since 2017

I swear this dude pulls 2 to 3 lines before he makes a video lol great video tho

On the cars from the 70, s first thing we would do ..remove EGR..cut off the Catalytic converter’s run true dual exhaust change the distributor springs..shift kit..reroute the stock breather intake and install aftermarket air filter..few hundred dollars worth of parts would really make a difference on a GM 350 or 400.. car ..enough for a high schooler at the time

[UberDAHnooB]

I had a couple cars with EGR issues. An even easier trick is to cut out a rectangular section of a soda can, loosen the bolts holding the EGR on, and slide that piece of can to cover the hole leading into the EGR. Then tighten the bolts back up and you are good to go!

Scotty might be the only person who can make people laugh while discussing the history and chemistry of the "extinct" EGR valve.

Mr. Kilmer I just want to thank you for the awesome content. I have learned more about cars from watching just a few of your videos then I have in my entire life. Your presentation as a content creator is absolutely tremendous! Totally informative, right to the point, but done with a good sense of humor. Thanks again man, keep up the good work!

I remember hearing about grass fires being started by those red-hot catalytic converters.

Back in the 70's we'd simply disable the EGR valve by sticking a BB in the controlling vacuum hose and then plug the hose back on. It "appeared" normal but effectively defeated the system.

Thank you for explaining the EGR valve. I have just inherited my late father’s Skoda and a warning light sometimes comes up that is most likely the EGR valve and I had no idea what it was or what it did.
This video has explained so much and I am no longer cautious about getting it looked at as I had previously thought it was too much expense to make my dad’s 2002 Skoda Fabia worth fixing, yet I want to keep it going as a memory to him - a truly wonderful guy and brilliant father that I owe everything to.

Scotty, you can't retire. The world needs you now more than ever!!! Much love to you scotty.

Actually EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Valves were introduce on most US cars starting with the 1973 models, two years before the catalytic converters. Exhaust Gas Recirculation dilutes the air/fuel mixture, thus lowering the combustion temperature which in turn reduces NOx emissions. The downside was reduced horsepower and fuel economy. In 1975 when the catalytic converters were added, the EGR Valves were redesigned to circulate less exhaust, shifting much more of the NOx control to the catalyst. The EGR Valves were never used for catalyst temperature regulation.

[deedeelowe]

I LOVE your videos! I never knew what an EGR valve was... but in 10 minutes... you explained it the way only an expert can... a lot of information with less words!

[frankjohnson]

I like to close my eyes, listening to this guy, and pretend Joe Pesci is my friendly neighborhood mechanic ....

[ryoamora]

Feel like I'm watching a Toyota sales commercial, every time I watch one of Scotty's videos. Lol

[JaguarDieCast]

Rev up your engines! (but not too high because it will damage your car and turn it into a endless money pit)

[lukespack]

Our daily history lesson. Another reason Scotty likes Toyota.

Scotty your knowledge amazes me! In my searches for various repair information on my 2001 Grand Marquis, I always hope that you will have done a video on the specific thing that I’m looking for because I know that if you’ve got a video on it, I can trust the advice! You’re a good man!
