EGR VALVE
.8L Engine>N25lCKI
INSPECTION(1) Remove the EGR valve and check it for sticking, deposit of
carbon, etc.
If such condition exists, clean with adequate solvent to
ensure tight valve seat contact.
(2) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
(3) Apply a vacuum of 500 mmHg (19.8
in.Hg.) and check
air-tightness.
(4)Blow in air from one passage of the EGR to check conditionas follows.

INSTALLATION
Install a new gasket and EGR valve, tighten bolts to specified
torque.Specified tightening torque:
< 1.8L Engine>lo-15 Nm (7.2-10 ft.lbs.)
<2.0L DOHC Engine>15-22 Nm (lo-155 ft.lbs.)
THERM0 VALVE
2.0L DOHC Engine>NZHCNGb
INSPECTION(1) Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the therm0 valve, and
connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple of the therm0
valve.(2) Apply a vacuum and check the air passage through thetherm0 valve.
REMOVAL
(1) When removing the therm0 valve, do not use wrenches or
other tools on the resin part.
(2) When disconnecting the vacuum hoses, put a mark on the
hose so that it may be reconnected at original position.
INSTALLATION(1) Apply specified sealant to the threads of therm0 valve and
tighten to specified torque. When installing the therm0
valve, do not use wrenches or other tools on the resin part.Specified sealant:
MOPAR Part No.4318034 or equivalent
Specified torque:
20-40 Nm (15-30 ftlbs.)(2) Reconnect the vacuum hoses in position.

EGR TEMPERATURE SENSOR NHCZB
INSPECTION(1) Remove the EGR temperature sensor.
(2) Place the EGR temperature ‘sensor in water,
.and then
measure the resistance value between terminals 1

while increasing the water’s temperature.
Replace the EGR temperature sensor if there is a signifi-
cant deviation from the standard value.

EGR CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
INSPECTION
NOTEWhen disconnecting the vacuum hose, make an identification
mark on it so‘that it can be reconnected to the original position.(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose (yellow and green stripe)
from the solenoid valve.
(2) Disconnect the harness connector.
(3) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to which the
green-striped vacuum hose was connected.
(4) Apply a vacuum and check for air-tightness when voltage
applied directly to the EGR control solenoid valve and whenthe voltage is discontinued.
