Dodge Nitro EGR Valve
Since this is an automotive article, it is essential to have understanding of the major function of The EGR Valve in Dodge Nitro; the control of back flow of exhaust gases which in turn help in reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. The EGR Valve reintroduces a part of the exhaust fumes back into the engine, thereby reducing oxygen content and substituting it with inert gases, which also assist in reducing heat created by combustion the reduces tendency of the engine to produce NOx. In addition to helping to realise emissions the mechanism also improves engine efficiency by enabling increased throttle positions and reducing pumping losses. Through the earlier models of Dodge Nitro, EGR Valves have been subjected to many styles and these range from simple orifice jets to highly efficient valves that are sensitive to the cool temperature of the engine coolant and also to the manifold vacuum. Depending on the load, backpressure transducers may also be a part of contemporary EGR systems. It is however important to note that EGR Valves can at times develop carbon deposits which means that it will require appropriate cleaning in order to correct its working and contribute to the ideal functioning of the particular vehicle.

Dodge Nitro EGR Valve Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How Do You Replace an EGR Valve on Dodge Nitro?A: Under certain engine conditions, such as pulling a heavy load or climbing a steep hill, an engine can produce too much NOx emissions. Controlled by the PCM, the EGR valve recirculates some exhaust gasses back to the intake manifold to reduce combustion temperatures under these circumstances. On four-cylinder engines, the EGR valve and cooler are mounted underneath the intake manifold, at the left rear of the engine. On 3.7L engines, the EGR valve is located at the rear of the left cylinder head. On 4.0L engines, the electronic EGR valve and solenoid assembly is attached to the rear of the right cylinder head. Disconnect the electrical connector, remove the EGR tube, and unbolt the EGR valve. For four-cylinder engines, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Drain the cooling system. Remove the engine cover and disconnect the EGR valve electrical connector. Disconnect the hoses from the EGR valve cooler, then remove the bolts and detach the EGR pipe from the housing. Remove the EGR valve housing mounting bolts, then remove the housing, valve, and cooler assembly from the engine block. Remove the bolts and detach the EGR valve from the housing. Remove all traces of gasket material from the valve and housing. Install the valve to the housing, using a new gasket. Tighten the bolts. Position the housing/valve/cooler assembly against the engine block, install the bolts, then tighten them. Connect the EGR pipe to the housing, using a new gasket, and tighten the bolts. Reconnect the electrical connector and install the engine cover. Refill the cooling system. For V6 engines, the installation is the reverse of removal. When replacing the EGR valve, use a new gasket. When replacing the EGR pipe, replace the gasket at the EGR valve end, and a seal at the intake manifold end (3.7L V6 engine) or a new gasket at the flange (4.0L V6 engine).
