i go about resetting the check egr light on my dash. i drive a 87 mitsubishi
montero |
| Answer: | Dean, I'm not too familiar with that early of a Montero, so please forgive the general answer. If your EGR valve is working correctly, that light should turn off automatically. The intake manifold can build up an excessive amount of carbon because
of the exhaust gas recirculating and the crankcase vapors being drawn
in. This causes a small EGR passageway in the intake manifold to
become plugged, which eventually causes the light to come on. Have
that passageway cleaned out, and your light should turn off. |
