The time has come...how do I replace my EGR valve?
The time has come...how do I replace my EGR valve?
I finally have some expendable money that I can use on this. Where can I find a replacement EGR valve and how do I reinstall it? Is there anything else I will need? (I've alreaddy got a new O-ring) Like a new EGR tube or gaskets or anything like that?
Re: The time has come...how do I replace my EGR valve?
Here ya go:
Pull the EGR and AIR pump out. Block off the openings for them (I have some made from aluminum plating I picked up from Home Depot and use a freeze plug for the intake) and go to a tuner and pay $50 to get the codes turned off. Thats all you'd need.

I don't want them deleted, I just want the EGR replaced. Until I can get some LS6 heads, I am going to keep them. Why? So I'm not polluting anymore than I need to. Its not worth the extra 1/2 horsepower and 2 lbs of weight I'll save.I'm doing this because my SES light came on and they linked it to a fualty EGR valve at autozone...
So does anyone actually know how I can replace them?

EGR is easy on an LS1 f-body. Any parts house should have a replacement EGR. 2 bolts on the flange, the tube and the electrical connection. And it's right out front instead of buried in behind the intake like on an LT1. Just get a new gasket. (check in the box first there might be one in there).

Holy crap! Thank you!
This is the first serious response I've had on here and LS1tech.com in my 3 attempts
Thanks a ton dude.

Yeah, I passed the sniffer way way way under their "acceptable" ratings, and I haven't had egr or air for a long time--- and I'm not exactly stock.
