Use carb cleaner and a wire brush.
open bleed valve on top of distribution pump, crank engine till fuel squirts from valve, tighten valve, turn over couple times. Add heat and fire up.
New fuel filter. Clean EGR valve and clean intercooler and pipes. Add injector cleaner to fuel and also fuel enhancer additive.
how do you clean a egr valve on a vauxhall zafira 1.6
evap vacuum cut valve bypass valve
If this is the Eco Tech Vauxhall Engine then it will either be the EGR Valve (Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve) or the Mass Air Flow Meter. It's worth disconnecting the Mass Air Flow Meter when it is reving and see if this alters the revs if not then I would suggest cleaning the EGR Valve as they get clogged up with black soot and subsequently alters the air to fuel mixture as would the Mass Air Flow!
Discard the valve all together and plug the vacuum line as if there was no bypass valve
hopw do I find the egr valve on a vauxhall signum
if its a frontera 'a' , on the 2.2 engine (with code x22xe) its an integral part of the oil filter housing and sadly, only on this engine, its not a cheap fix as i found out to my expense ( as i own a fronty with this engine ! ) the whole asembly is around £130 and you have to buy the complete unit. if its a oil pressure problem your having, then try changing/cleaning the relief valve first
This usually indicates a faulty Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Vacuum Cut Valve/Bypass Valve.1. Verify battery voltage to the EVAP vacuum cut valve bypass valve on the Black/White wire with the key ON.2. Verify the Green/White ground wire for the EVAP vacuum cut valve bypass valve is good all the way to the ECM. The Green/White wire goes to terminal 117 on the ECM.3. Verify the EVAP vacuum cut valve bypass valve is closed (can not blow through it by mouth) when the EVAP vacuum cut valve bypass valve is de-energized.4. Verify the EVAP vacuum cut valve bypass valve opens (can blow through it by mouth) with the valve powered up and grounded.5. Check the EVAP vacuum cut valve to verify it allows flow only one way.
How long does it take to fit a concentic valve in a vauxhall astra
A bypass solenoid valve speeds up the warm up phase of an engine, and a faster temperature rise in the passenger compartment is achieved.
