I bought my car with the smog stuff all removed and I am trying to put some of it back to help my fuel mileage. The first thing I want to check is the EGR valve, how can I check that it is working or even hooked up properly? It is still on the car but I am not sure if it is working, I get the CEL every so often in the morning which leads me to believe that it is the EGR not working.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

It looks like it is hooked up for the most part. The only thing missing in the vacuum hose. From the manual, it looks like the EVR hoses should connect to the EGR valve, is that correct? There was a hose just laying in the area that looked to fit the EGR only it wouldn't stay. I am going to take a look at it again tomorrow but it seems that it would be the missing hose.

Any ideas? Am I on the right track?
