Z31 EGR Valve[edit]

egrvalve.jpg

The EGR Control Valve controls the volume of exhaust gas led into the intake manifold through a vertical movement of a taper valve connected to a diaphragm that receives vacuum in response to the opening of the throttle. The chart below will explain when the EGR valve is opened.

In the Exhaust Gas Recirculation System, some of the exhaust gas is returned to the combustion chamber to lower the flame temperature during combustion. This results in a reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) density in the exhaust gas.

When the EGR Control Valve is open, some of the exhaust gas is led from the exhaust manifold to the EGR tube. The exhaust gas is then regulated by the EGR valve and introduced into the intake manifold.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Operation[edit]

The signal from the ECCS control unit is sent to the EGR control solenoid valve, which cuts the vacuum line for the EGR control valve when any of the following conditions are met:

Condition Present EGR Control Solenoid Position EGR System Operation
Engine Starting On Does Not Function
Throttle Valve Switch Open
Low Engine Temperature
Engine Speed
Below 900 RPM
Above 3200 RPM
Except Above Off Operates
