Folks,
Can anybody explain the functionality of the E.G.R valve on the late TR6
Carb?
After I suddenly had idle problems I believe I found the problem in this
valve. I
checked the distributor and timing - everything OK. I checked the
manifold for
possible cracks and replaced the gaskets first before I had a closer
look at the EGR.
I removed it from the head and checked it. The vacuum unit works fine,
no leaks.
But the piston in the EGR does not fully close. Now I�m wondering how
the EGR
valves works?
- When should it be open and when closed?
- What happens if I simply close the hole with a plug? (I do not have to
meet any
emission regulation so why not simply remove it?)
Any comments?
TIA
