Title: egr setup on a mk1 shogun????
Post by: drpauly on June 22, 2005, 20:09:48

hi all
does anyone have any idea how to setup my egr? i had a racing engine problem so sorted out the pump side of things all seems fine but i have a slight power loss all i can put it down to is that on opening the egr unit and what appeared to look like timing marks on the piston/plunger i lined it up with the notch on the side, am i right in doing this or have i made a booboo  :oops:
any help on this plz

Blank it off.   Have a look in the forums on PajeroUK for quite a lot of info on Paj EGR.

hi thanks guys
now ive heard about this blanking method, but in my experience i didnt think it was a good idea to blank it at the time, so what i did do is clean it and yes it did get rid of the smoke its great now i can see cars in my rearview, its just the performance side of it now it seems slower than b4, now i think its the pump that needs tuning but im open to any person wiser than i am on this topic to come forth with their ideas plz :D
thanks

see this y i am in a pickle sir, coz b4 it smoked more fags than i did black smoke all the time but since i took out the egr and cleaned it up i only have a slight puff only when i really put my foot down but not when im normally driving, b4 i had all power now its ok but it dont seem to hold well on hills

ok,it might be running a little lean(black smoke is overfuelling). you could turn the pump up a little,or get used to it and enjoy the increased mpg :shock:

what has happened is,you cleaned the EGR and now it's working properly,before it was stuck open. the result is increased mpg and cooler running. so all good really :wink:
