Had an egr valve stuck closed on my petrol outback. It ran just fine and even passed its emissions test at the MoT. I did eventually replace it as it's a 5 minute job on a Subaru.

My car has been suffering from the 1st symptom for a few weeks now, when the engine is cold, there is noticeable vibration when idling at traffic stop, and when the auto transmission downshifts to full stop, the car felt like threatening to die off. Suspected bad engine mounting, bad spark plugs, and dirty O2 sensor. Went to a workshop, the guy checked and discounted all 3 causes. Then he decided to do EGR valve delete by blocking it off and voila now the symptom is gone.

The BEST video so far....I have seen on this

You nailed it. God bless you. This video has saved me thousands of Naira in Nigeria 🇳🇬 . Mine is fixed, and the car is running smoothly while idling. God bless you

Got a 1985 Chrysler LeBaron 2.2 l4 that hates the cold Midwestern weather and almost stalls out. I cleaned the throttle body, used injector cleaner and nothing changed. Cleaned the EGR valve....purrs like a kitten.

Many thanks

This video helped alot. Had real bad rough idle on 07 4.0 mustang. The plugs, wires, and coil pack are brand new. I did notice a fuel smell but I thought maybe just typical car smell. I ended up buying a new OE motorcraft EGR valve after checking everything it could possibly be. Put the sucker (literally) in and the car runs like a dream at idle while in drive finally. Old one was pretty rusted out, dirty and was probably +10 years old so I guess it was just due to get replaced. Car barely has 100k but I'm fighting age instead of miles with this old ride.

thank you so much for this video. I think after watching this, I have figured out what's wrong with my car. a dealership had it for awhile for some other things like water pump, freeze plug, o rings, few others. I get mycar back and now it stalls while I'm driving and esp. while in park but not all the time, just sometimes-mostly when first started and taken somewhere. After I drive it and it warms up, it won't do it. It also while driving sometimes acts like it's in neutral-I will press the gas and nothing. rpm's do n't go up. the car won't move and after a min or so of that it'll jerk and go on down the road. My gas mileage has went down a lot quicker than it used to as well. Your video describes everything it's doing and a code reader did bring up Egr valve and Egr circuit control. Going to get egr replace and hope and pray this fixes the issue. I can't keep driving it like this.

You can always reroute it to the intake fitting of the crank case and add a breather to the crank case or a catchcan from the pcv and crankcase

Only making cars worst with all them dam sensors

Don't forget the smell of oil from the exhaust pipe on start-up when the oil gets into the combustion chamber onto the spark plugs.👍

Great video.. I now know this will fix my car.. check engine light came on for EGR Valve and fuel filter.. but this video explains everything my car is doing.. RPM's so low the engine stalls.. car runs ruff.. I'm petty sure this is my problem now

[straightsouthern]

[bluefeatherlopez]

Very explainable and very intrigued with your help of understanding the koas of EGR failure's. Spot on with your expertise...

[carlplz]

The bad smell at cold is the easiest sign of a bad egr or the gas sensor in the exhaust pipe before and after the catalytic convt.

My one stalls in the morning. Can restart no symptoms after driving 5min. Do you think it's bad EGR? Scanded but no code at all. It's really annoying.

2012 1.6 TDI seat Ibiza, exhaust sounds different sometimes, louder, rough acceleration for the first 30 mins of driving.. isent rough at idle or cutting out or bad fuel smell

i 99% sure this is whats wrong with my car thanks for the video

[sellarajah]

Hi, great video. I have these issues and from your video, it looks like EGR issue. If the MAF sensor is disconnected, then the car goes fine. Would long term use without MAF sensor cause other issues? One garage told me that the DPF won't regenerate without MAF connected? I'm now also seeing a code (P0136) for heated O2 sensor. Any ideas what that means as well. Thanks
