How to replace EGR-valve?
Hi!
Since I have an idling problem with my Dodge Avenger -96, "bad venge" gave me recommendations to check the intake, egr and IAC, I have done everything but the EGR valve and was now wondering how I may replace this?
Btw, thank you bad venge, it very much seems as it is the EGR-valve! =D
Do I need to loosen the intake manifold or could I do it without that?
I have ordered a Haynes repair manul but havent recieved it yet =(
I believe the EGR is causing the bad idling, and since I have a Sebring coupe 95 I will take the EGR from that car.
PS, a little off-question, I looked at my Sebring coupe -95 today and saw it only had 1 O2-sensor, and my Dodge has 3 O2-sensors of maybe more?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Hi!
How will I diagnose it? I believe it is the EGR-valve that is causing the bad idling, but since I havent cleaned the intake manifild myself so I dont know how to replace the EGR-valve, I can see it behind the manifold at the right side, but then what? =/
I have one EGR-valve in spare, so that is no cost for me right now, but can I change it without removing the intake manifold, looks like a big job removing that thing =(
What is service test procedure if I mind asking? =D

Here's the QUICK diagnosis remove the two bolts off the rear manifold dead center that hold the egr , take the gasket out and fashion a block off in the shape of the gasket (matching the bolt holes) I use a pop can . reinstall it and tighten the bolts , restart the car and see if it idles correctly if it does EGR is bad

Hi again!
I have now done the following:
*Blocked EGR-valve and the idle was still bad
*Replaced IAC and still bad idle
*Replaced battery for a 12 volt 55 ah 480 CCA
But NOW the keydance worked and showed the following code:
1-2-2-1-5-5 which should mean 12 & 21 & 55?
What does that stand for and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Hi again!
Thank you!
Should I replace the visible O2-sensor after the extractor? I have taking that one from my Sebring today so I will replace that with the one that my Dodge has.
Is it more than one that could be faulthy? I heard about up to 4 sensors but can only se one, it has 4 wires.
Thanks again!
