    If you want gas mileage replace it. If you want performance get rid of it

      Depends whether it's dirty, but definitely a tune up item, including the EGR passages. On your radio depending on the schematics, check the fuses, wiring, and lastly the radio itself. Could be out.

    what about cleaning the passages in the throttle body and the intake manifold?. is not gonna do you any good just cleaning the EGR valve. those passages gets clog in time for sure.

    • @DIYAutoworksNG
      @DIYAutoworksNG  Год назад +1

      You are absolutely right. Those should be cleaned too.

      How do you get to the passages in the throttle body and intake manifold? I'm now trying to clean the EGR valve on my '96 Toyota Supercharged Estima. Until recently symptoms indicated carbon build up in the EGR: car ran fine except in the intense mid-day heat, at which the motor would start choking and would soon do more than a weak idle until I cooled the engine. However, two days ago, car just stopped starting altogether. Will fire with starting fluid but there is no fuel flow at all. Could the built-up carbon in the EGR have perhaps shifted around and have begun to clog fuel entirely? The car previously cranked fine. Was a sudden change, not gradual. Any leads on this MUCH APPRECIATED!

    I have a code p0108, ford 500. It says to change/ clean map sensor. But the Ford 500 doesnt have a map. Its built in the egr valve. Only problem is getting the dang thing out

    • @DIYAutoworksNG
      @DIYAutoworksNG  Год назад +1

      Yea, sounds like you'll have to roll up some sleeves and get that EGR/MAP thingy out for a good clean. I wonder whether some manufacturers intentionally make things a bit difficult to discourage the DIY crew🤔

      @HaggisMuncher-y2u Год назад

      That doesn’t make sense to have a manifold absolute pressure sensor on the egr valve
      How will the ECU know how much fresh air is going into the intake?
      MAP sensors is there to check all air going to the engine.

      Yes. That's the ideal thing. I acknowledged that in the full video.
      I actually had a new gasket but didn't need to use it, and there are no EGR leaks. I think it's down to the compressible nature of the gasket.
