This is done by putting it right past (behind) the throttle body on the intake or by having a small EGR feed port in each intake runner. So, if you look near the throttle body, you&rsquo;ll typically find it bolted to the manifold in that area, and you&rsquo;ll usually see a metal feed pipe from the exhaust leading to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"448\"

It returns about 5% of the exhaust gas to the combustion chamber when the engine is loaded and not idling. If the EGR is flowing at idle, the intake manifold will get very hot and the engine will idle extremely rough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recirculated exhaust gas lowers the combustion chamber temperature below 2500F by displacing some of the oxygen flowing through the intake manifold into the cylinders. Keeping combustion chamber temperatures below 2500 F reduces the formation of oxides of nitrogen during the combustion process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"rsi-card\">\n  <div class=\"rsi-thumb\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/d_noimage.jpg\/b_white\/e_sharpen,e_auto_brightness,e_auto_contrast\/f_auto\/q_auto:eco,dpr_auto\/w_873,h_873,c_pad\/images\/jra50920001_1\">\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"rsi-info\">\n    <span class=\"rsi-title\">Before You Order an EGR Valve, Build the One-Job Order Sheet<\/span>\n    <span class=\"rsi-desc\">Build the right EGR valve the first time by matching your cart to the job scope and checking the original valve's condition.\n<\/span>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/before-you-order-an-egr-valve-build-the-one-job-order-sheet-quickref\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Discover Your Options\">Discover Your Options<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips On How to Access the EGR Valve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The EGR valve is easy to access, so you can easily remove it for cleaning or replacement.
