While I was reconditioning the upper and lower intake manifolds I found that the EGR Valve and the EGR line leading to the lower intake manifold were completely plugged. In this video I detail how I unplugged these lines and how I tested the EGR valve to make sure it is functioning properly.

I will be documenting every part of this vehicle as I put it back together. As you can see from this title, I even document things like a plugged EGR pipeline.

I want everyone who visits my channel to know about a friend of mine. His name is Tasos and his videos inspire me to be more like him. The information he provides is priceless. You can find him right here at    / tasosmoschatos  

My videos are not sponsored by anyone. The products and tools I use are products and tools I have purchased with my own money. I include links below to and special tools and products I used in this video.

The only tools used were common tools like a drill and some wire to clean out the EGR pipeline. In addition I used Simple Green 19005 Crystal Industrial Cleaner/Degreaser to clean all the parts in this entire project. It is a fantastic water based degreaser and it's safe to use on aluminum. A little goes a long way:

For clearing out the EGR valve itself I used the CRC 05084 BRAKLEEN Brake Parts Cleaner:
