EVR removed by PO, should I delete EGR??

[madspeed]

PO removed some of the smog and EGR stuff kind of half arsed. I'm getting code 84 for the EVR, I went to check it, and its gone. The vacuum line goes from the EGR valve directly to the manifold vacuum, which I'm guessing is definitely not the way it should work.

AT this point, should I get a EGR delete plate and remove the valve? What about the CEL? This is on a 91 5.0 if it matters....

I would put it back...but that's just me.

I was thinking that, but now I need to find a EVR solenoid....NOT spending 50 clams for a new one

J/Y is your friend...or someone who has removed it off their car.

What years/models have this EVR?

 

[Mustang5L5]

86-93..possibly 94-95 and other vehicles that came with a 5.0 engine

The car should not idle (and CERTAINLY not well) if there is manifold vacuum on the EGR valve at all times.

If it idles just fine, the passages are likely clogged or the EGR valve itself doesn't function properly.

It idles ok, just stinks like a mother

Then the EGR valve or exhaust circuit isn't functioning properly. When totally healthy, it will stall a car or bring the idle to near stalling.

You'd probably laugh at how these thing were hooked up! I agree its not functioning properly, let's just say that...

Did he remove the charcoal canister and just leave the line open?

 

[madspeed]

Nope, thats all good
