In this video I have a look at a Nissan Sentra that came in with some EGR trouble. It had a P0400 causing the engine light to come on. Pretty simple system so let's have a look to see if we can fix it. -Enjoy!

If it ain't broke don't fix it?
My friend I followed your instructions and took apart the whole EGR system from the manifold to the exhaust and cleaned it . I also took apart the whole valve and it seemed to be stuck like yours. I don't know if it was truly stuck, since I have no engine light on or code reader to check, but the EGR tube was always cold. Thank you for the excellent instructions
This channel shoud be mandatory watching for all Automotive Engineers who build these things. The Executives too.
EGRs get hot.
I would have lubricated it with a few drops of synthetic motor oil, which is much more heat resistant.
Great video
So the washer goes with the fingers down to the bearings?
Impressive knowledge, as always. Scottie would probably tell you you're stupid for spending that much time trying to serve the customer, but who the thunder would even want Scottie to wash their windshield? 🤣
Hey there viewers and welcome back to the self made auto channel 😀
Another great video.
From what I’ve watched on you tube cats can’t be cleaned to work again, nothing like a little panther piss in your coffee cup to spice it up
I have a Nissan Xterra some of them exhaust gas regulators I do I'm happy I don't
I have a PAC brake like that. Works great on the bench, works fine installed loosely, butterfly is free. Tighten everything down – no worky.
Too bad the heat will dry out to Gibbs and it’ll stick again LOL
I am getting pretty good at guessing the year of the video from the condition of Mr' O' Jeep hat !
Great vid, just saved that lady $300 on the EGR – to lessen the sting of the new CAT!
Who is Ivan?
Part number of that small 3/8 ratchet??
I've had pretty good, lasting results, using graphite-type heat proof dry type lubes. I know KANO, maker of Kroil, makes a "Pyrolube" that is for high heat
…just something to think about…..
awesome excellent job thanks always doing a nice diagnosing gooooooood
Lol that brings back memories of days gone by
I had a 91 s10 blazer with the 4.3L. Without fail Every 5,000 miles or so I have to take the EGR valve to give it a good cleaning.
Hi Mr. O, you have condemned the cat as is not storing oxygen without diagnosis. What if the ox sensor is lying?
DUDE! You Rock! Thank you for going the xtra mile! Just what I needed to see.
what is big nasties music thanks in advance
I have the same exact vehicle and I was wondering is there anyway to just temporarily bypassed that EGR valve like maybe plugging up the two rubber hoses in the back just to see if the car runs correctly like that ? because my car won’t stay on while idling?
I have a 1997 Honda Passport 3.2 engine with EGR valve problem -code for "insufficient EGR flow" crops up. I have checked the EGR pipes for blockage – it is very clean. I checked the EGR valve and it is clean. I then checked air intake manifold and throttle body – they were a little bit dirty-cleaned anyway. The code keeps appearing every other day or so or sometimes doesn't show up for several weeks. I even replaced EGR valve. What sensor tells computer the insufficient flow condition? I don't see any other sensors in EGR system. Kinda driving me crazy-any help out there? Car only has 77,000 miles on it. Thanks!
I had an 01 Sentra 1.8 from new until three years ago. The 2nd owner is an associate and he's still driving it. On its original engine, mid 200,000 miles. Not the fanciest car but a very good car. Responsive engine, plenty powerful for the car.
Or an oil drain pan, everything falls into that. Bolts, nuts, sockets and wrenches are oil seeking.
He straight up Ivaned that EGR valve
I have a p0400 on my 1998 k1500 pickup. Is the code the same for my truck. If its egr I'd love to know
What does it means on scanner first time user don't judge me. No powertrain DTC or freeze frame data found in vehicles computer
So if that thing going up and down does it means it's good? But it shoeing me that thing
Good video Eric thanks for your time Brother!
Ewww a nissan
What do you think in cleaning this valve with an ultrasonic bowl?
Can you clean a cat with thinners or acetone, explosive but did hear it could be done.
Got a old motorcycle oil can paper-cardboard can , know you like license plates, if your interested I will send it your way (still full), thought I'd pack it in big pvc pipe seal it up ?
