EGR valve
Ok, so my SVX has been at the rebuilders for like a month now. They FINALLY have it done but today they call me and tell me that they still get an error for the EGR valve. They were going to replace it but they called around and said that it wasn't available. I called the dealership here as well as subaruparts.com and neither of them could get it either. They said it is discontinued by Subaru.
I checked O'reillys and Autozone. O'reilly's is discontinued, but autozone has it. The mechanic recommended against using either of those because i'd have to just replace it the next year and told me to keep looking and see if i can find an OEM part. Any ideas anyone? It would suck to drop all this money on an engine rebuild and not be able to finally drive the car because I can't get it inspected!! How much would that suck?? |
Re: EGR valve
the weird thing about that valve is that the JDM eg33s never came with one so i wonder if you can get away with it. best bet is to find one off another car i guess

What year is your car? Also, there are two possible EGR codes on the OBD 1 cars, the EGR solenoid and the EGR temp sensor. The 92s didn't have the temp sensor and won't care that it's not there, but the 94s will throw a code if it's missing/unplugged only (regardless of what it reads). They'll all throw a code for the solenoid if it's bad/unplugged. |

Conn does tail pipe emissions on the SVX 1996 and older. My emissions guy ( good friend of mine ) said pull the bulb and bring it in .Mine will come on every once in a while stay for 25 miles and go off. It passed emissions a week before I got it

Re: EGR valve
Conn Svx, 96 is OBDII, no tailpipe test on OBDII:p

Re: EGR valve
Cut off must be 95 then

Re: EGR valve
My 92 passed CT emissions with EGR issues. I just cleared the code in the parking lot before the idle test. My light likes to come at highway cruising speed.

It looks like Napa can get the part. Does anyone know how hard it is to install? I might just do it myself. |

Re: EGR valve
From my reading here and other places the 92 ecu does not look for egr, but 93 and up all do so if you can get a 92 ecu you wont need to worry about it.
I am with icing on this delete the egr and be happy. |

Re: EGR valve
Ray if you figure this out let me know, mine throws codes too. I was going to try and seafoam the engine first and see if I could get any of the crap out of there. Calixto had the EGR system replaced on this car once already.

Re: EGR valve
BTW have you tried to get it inspected? Mine was way over on hydrocarbons, but yours may still pass despite having the CEL on. I can tell you the guys I go to and see if it would pass at least.

Re: EGR valve
Not sure , but I think I only have to pass once more . After 20 years they don't test .

At 20 years you can get "antique" plates in CT, but those don't exempt you from testing. |
