Purpose
2001 Chevrolet Express 1 Ton Van V8-5.7L VIN RSECTION Purpose
An Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is used in order to lower Oxides Of Nitrogen (NOx) emission levels. The EGR system accomplishes this by feeding small amounts of exhaust gas back into the combustion chamber. High combustion temperatures cause NOx. Combustion temperatures are reduced when the air/fuel mixture is diluted with the exhaust gases.
