(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose (green-striped) from the EGRvalve, and connect the hand vacuum pump through the
three-way terminal.
(2) Regarding cold condition [coolant temperature:
20°C (68°F)or less] and warm condition [coolant temperature:
70°C
(68°F) or more] of the engine, check the following two
points:<Cold condition of engine>

(4) When a negative pressure of 215
mmHg (8.5 in.Hg.) is
applied during idling, check that the engine stops or idles
unstably.

INSPECTION(1) Remove the EGR valve and check it for sticking, deposit of
carbon, etc.
If such condition exists, clean with adequate solvent to
ensure tight valve seat contact.
(2) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
(3) Apply a vacuum of 500 mmHg (19.8
in.Hg.) and check
air-tightness.
(4)Blow in air from one passage of the EGR to check conditionas follows.

INSTALLATION
Install a new gasket and EGR valve, tighten bolts to specified
torque.Specified tightening torque:
< 1.8L Engine>lo-15 Nm (7.2-10 ft.lbs.)
<2.0L DOHC Engine>15-22 Nm (lo-155 ft.lbs.)
THERM0 VALVE <Federal and Canada-
2.0L DOHC Engine>NZHCNGb
INSPECTION(1) Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the therm0 valve, and
connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple of the therm0
valve.(2) Apply a vacuum and check the air passage through thetherm0 valve.
REMOVAL
(1) When removing the therm0 valve, do not use wrenches or
other tools on the resin part.
(2) When disconnecting the vacuum hoses, put a mark on the
hose so that it may be reconnected at original position.
INSTALLATION(1) Apply specified sealant to the threads of therm0 valve and
tighten to specified torque. When installing the therm0
valve, do not use wrenches or other tools on the resin part.Specified sealant:
MOPAR Part No.4318034 or equivalent
Specified torque:
20-40 Nm (15-30 ftlbs.)(2) Reconnect the vacuum hoses in position.

INSPECTION.
Inspect for damage, cracking or deterioration. Replace if faulty.
Caution1. Operation of any type, including
idjing, should be
avoided if engine misfiring occurs. Under this conditionthe exhaust system will operate at abnormally ‘high
temperature, which may cause damage to
the”Catalystor underbody parts of the vehicle.
2.Alteration or deterioration of ignition or fuel system, or
any type of operating condition which results in enghtemisfiring must be corrected to avoid overheating the
catalytic converters.
3. Proper maintenance and tune up according to manu-
facturer’s specifications should be made to correct the
conditions as soon as possible.
