The purpose of the emission control system is to regulate exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in vehicles with carbureted and fuel-injected engines.

To maintain Thermactor system components like TAB/AIRB or TAD/AIRD solenoid, you should disconnect the battery, locate the solenoid(s) on the firewall, unplug the electrical connector, label and detach vacuum hoses, remove the solenoid/bracket screws, and detach the solenoid(s).

The EGR valve provides the physical connection and flow between the exhaust system and the intake manifold, allowing controlled exhaust gas recirculation.

The EGR system accomplishes its purpose by recirculating a small portion of inert exhaust gases into the intake manifold. This lowers the combustion temperature and mitigates the formation of NOx compounds.

The EGA system is designed to reduce NOx emissions resulting from high combustion temperatures by recirculating a small amount of exhaust gas into the intake manifold.

Common problems in the emissions system can be due to a stuck or corroded EGR valve or a damaged or leaking hose or vacuum diaphragm.

SEFI engines use the Electronic Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EEGR) and Pressure Feedback EGR (PFE) systems for EGR control. Checks include evaluating EGR flow for optimal combustion and verifying components like the EGR valve, Electronic Vacuum Regulator, and sensors.

Early carbureted engines may employ either a Ported Vacuum Control system or a Venturi Vacuum Control system for EGA.

If unsure about the condition of the EGR valve, you can compare the free movement of your EGR valve with a new valve to determine if a replacement is necessary.

Make sure that all vacuum lines are properly routed, secure, and in good condition (not cracked, kinked, or broken off).

If necessary, the EGR valve or the EGR vacuum regulator may need to be replaced.

The self-check function monitors the EGR system during operation and generates Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for diagnosis.

To maintain the EGR valve for vehicles with EEGR, you should unplug the electrical connector from the EGR valve position sensor, unscrew the threaded fitting for the external exhaust supply tube (if present), remove the vacuum line and mounting bolts, detach the valve, and replace the gasket. If replacing the EGR valve without the position sensor, transfer the sensor to the new valve with a new O-ring.

The EGR system is designed to lower combustion temperatures and reduce the formation of Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) by reintroducing exhaust gases into the combustion chambers.

The voltage and resistance of the EGR vacuum regulator and the EGR valve position (EVP) sensor should be checked.

Checks for the EGR control system involve evaluating components such as the Electronic Vacuum Regulator (EVA) and DPFE sensor. Checks include voltage, resistance, and operational performance assessments.

The EEGR system is operated in direct response to the EEC PCM computer, which uses its engine sensors and preprogrammed routines to determine the optimum duty cycles in concert with engine operating conditions and other emission control devices, to minimize pollutants and maximize driveability.
