EGR valve

[Rpcapogna]

Hi all. So the EGR valve is usually closed at startup of engine right? When does it actually open? Can you you tell from different sound of the engine? I removed my EGR for cleaning. I tried the solenoid disassembled from the valve but connected to the electric connector, turned the key and it did move like to open the valve. After cleaning the valve and connected only electrically turned the key and nothing happened. I guess it's normal. Anyone can help? This is a ram 2007 6.7 lt. Thanks in advance

This is in the wrong forum. You might want to post in the 6.7 forum instead of the 5.9 forum for more responses.

Bets are, it works fine, but I'll bet you saw a lot of carbon. I know when I went through mine at 60K it was filthy. Pulled the intake horn and the heater grid was building up carbon as well. At that time I tapped the intake horn for my boost connection, and the next I pull time, I'll tap it for a temperature sensor.
