But, as emission laws get tighter, it may become necessary again. When they first started using EGR, it didn't work as well as it does now. Some vehicles actually have EGR valves, not because they were needed to pass NOx standards, but because they found they could actually get slightly better MPG. > >Now you have me thinking about installing a 'block-off' gasket on the TJ >just to see if it would run better and get better mileage.

Big hassle. If you have two hoses, put the block in one, then swap for the smog test.

Hopefully somebody will figure a better way, as there is pretty good fuel savings running with higher compression and combustion but that also increases NOx...and with the new congress already blowing about "environment" this doesn't look like good times ahead for auto enthusiasts. > > Now you have me thinking about installing a 'block-off' gasket on the TJ > just to see if it would run better and get better mileage. A block-off > wouldn't set a code (shouldn't?), and it won't run rich either. Think most systems do check for the amount of exhaust being recirculated, so would expect a code on most mods. With modern FI it tends not to be as bad as the older stuff when EGR first started. > |

It did on my old 78 Dodge with the 'lean burn' system; it was set up so that the valve was wide open at any throttle setting except idle, and the mains were oversized a bit to compensate. After rejetting, I ended up with better throttle response and another 1.5 mpg, which was a big deal because it only got 10 mpg to begin with. Another old '74 wagon I drove ran like a champ with the vacuum tube removed. No one I knew ever left theirs hooked up. I know the vacuum controls on EGRs now are more refined, but the idea of shoving exhaust gasses back into an engine to lower combustinon temps still seems silly to me. Even water injection made more sense to me. |

There's always a way to get around something if you really want to. Truckers figured out a long time ago that getting around computer governors was an easy task, IF you didn't mind the speedometer being disabled. Nowadays we get a code set on that too if we mess with input sensors. |

Since EGR doesn't cause a lean condition, larger jets would do nothing to 'compensate' for it. Exhaust gas is inert. It doesn't change the mixture, it only takes up space to keep peak combustion temperature down. > >Another old '74 wagon I drove ran like a champ with the vacuum tube >removed.

Even water injection made more sense to me. No doubt EGR in the 70s & 80s wasn't good, but today, you probably wouldn't notice a difference by disconnecting it. Other than the MIL being on, that is. I always wondered about water injection too. Perhaps it's more costly, or has other drawbacks. Maybe the water vapor that gets past the rings condensing in the combustion chamber could be a problem. |
