EGR Valve Removal
 

Alrighty, I've been searching here for a tutorial/procedure/tip on properly removing or just isolating the EGR valve on an 84 300D.

I found a lot of posts about why someone would want to do to it but never the how. Can someone point me to the "How?" Thanks!

Unplug all lines going to black box on cam cover. The lines going to that thing near thermostat housing, plug. The lines running to VCV and something else, plug up. I switched from a four connector to a three, and the other one from a three to just a piece of vac line. Pics e-mail me.

Go to this thread, it has good pictures of what to do and how to do it on the EGR thing.

To make it easier, I had some vacuum line that I used where a stright piece was needed.

Unbolt EGR, remove gasket. Apply hitemp gasket maker. Stick a quarter in the hole. Apply more gasket sealer to other side. Make sure quarter still covers said hole. Rebolt EGR. Let sit overnight.

ahh, I wouldn't waste a quarter on this repair. use a plug from your local electrician. they should have tons available for you for free. 1" ought to do it.

i just pulled the 1 hose off the EGR, "looks like a wastgate" hose is just sitting there, hopefully this is good enough? runs a little better ide say

that is ok, IF your egr is working correctly. most are not.
it's best to plug off the exhaust.

Clarify?

I thought he was talking about the vacuum line.
am I right?

doesnt look like the waste gate line to me.

not a line, the little metal tube and on top its a small round piece, and 1 vac line from it, that goes right and hooks into a black piece with 2 other vac lines i think, maby 3., please say im right lol

my theory, no vac so it wont open

Your theory is flawed as they tend to get stuck in open. ;)

If you want to remove it completely and replace it with a proper plate:

If you simply want to stop the function of the valve:

Disconnect and plug the vacuum line to the valve.


That's it.

the piece with 3 lines running into it
