Subarian Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I finally got around to blocking off my EGR valve. That smoothed out the idle considerably, which allowed me to tune my 32/36 Weber correctly, which gave me a much smoother ride, better acceleration, and took my mileage from 24 to a little over 27 MPG. All for the cost of a used tin can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveman09 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I ditched my EGR valve as well to find better drivability and milage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoTGrimes Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I don't know what an EGR valve is, but it sounds like a primitive and inneficient emmisions device. Would my 83 GL have one and how would I go about removing/disabling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Your EGR Valve looks something like this. Your car does have one. The easy way to ditch it is to cut a piece of metal from a tin can and block the exhaust port in the valve. That way, if you have to pass a visual emissions inspection, it won't be a problem.
