2. What is the EGR System & Why Does it Get Dirty? 🔄
Understanding the EGR System
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system recirculates a portion of exhaust gases back into the intake manifold to reduce NOx emissions and improve combustion efficiency.
Why Does the EGR Valve Get Clogged?
❌ Carbon Buildup: Exhaust gases contain carbon deposits that accumulate over time.
❌ Oil Contamination: Oil mist from the crankcase breather mixes with soot.
❌ Short Trips: Frequent stop-and-go driving prevents the system from reaching optimal temperature, causing excess soot buildup.
🚨 Symptoms of a Dirty EGR Valve:
✔️ Rough idling and engine misfires.
✔️ Reduced acceleration and power loss.
✔️ Increased fuel consumption.
✔️ Black smoke from the exhaust.
✔️ Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated.
💡 Holts EGR Cleaner dissolves carbon buildup, restoring proper EGR function!
3. How Does a Carburetor Work & Why Does It Get Dirty? 🛞
Carburetor Functionality
A carburetor is responsible for mixing fuel and air in the correct ratio before combustion. It consists of jets, valves, and float chambers that regulate fuel delivery.
Why Does a Carburetor Get Clogged?
❌ Carbon & Gum Deposits: Unburnt fuel forms sticky gum and varnish.
❌ Dirt & Debris: Dust from the air intake clogs tiny fuel passages.
❌ Ethanol Fuel Issues: Ethanol attracts moisture, leading to corrosion and fuel degradation.
🚨 Symptoms of a Dirty Carburetor:
✔️ Hard starting or failure to start.
✔️ Engine hesitation or stalling.
✔️ Rough idling and poor throttle response.
✔️ Increased fuel consumption.
✔️ Black smoke from the exhaust.
💡 Using Holts Carb Cleaner keeps the carburetor clean, ensuring proper fuel delivery and combustion!
