8e electrical CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2004 Service Manual

De-energizing the solenoid, but not fully closing the
transducer bleed hole (because of low back-pressure),
varies the strength of vacuum applied to the EGR
valve. Varying the strength of the vacuum changes
the amount of EGR supplied to the engine. This pro-
vides the correct amount of exhaust gas recirculation
for different operating conditions.
This system does not allow EGR at idle.
A failed or malfunctioning EGR system can cause
engine spark knock, sags or hesitation, rough idle,
engine stalling and increased emissions.
REMOVAL - 2.4L
The EGR valve and Electrical EGR Transducer are
serviced as an assembly (Fig. 1).
(1) Disconnect vacuum tube from electric EGR
transducer. Inspect vacuum tube for damage.
(2) Remove electrical connector from solenoid.
(3) Remove EGR tube bolts from EGR valve.
(4) Remove EGR valve from cylinder head adaptor.
(5) Clean gasket surface and discard old gasket.
Check for any signs of leakage or cracked surfaces.
Repair or replace as necessary.
INSTALLATION - 2.4L
The EGR valve and Electrical EGR Transducer are
serviced as an assembly (Fig. 1).
(1) Assemble EGR valve with new gasket onto the
cylinder head adaptor.
(2) Loose assemble the bolts from EGR valve to
EGR tube.
(3) Loose assemble the bolts from EGR valve to
cylinder head.
(4) Tighten bolts from EGR valve to cylinder head
to 22.8 N´m (200  25 in. lbs.) torque.
(5) Tighten bolts from EGR valve to EGR tube to
11.9 N´m (105  20 in. lbs.) torque.
(6) Reconnect vacuum hose and electrical connec-
tor to electrical EGR transducer.
