To perform maintenance on the EGR system components, start by disconnecting the battery's negative terminal. For the EVP sensor, located on the EGR valve, unplug the electrical connector, remove the three mounting bolts, and detach the sensor, ensuring to use a new O-ring during installation. The EGR Control (EGRC) or EGR Vent (EGRV) Solenoid requires disconnecting the battery, locating the solenoid(s) on the firewall, unplugging the electrical connector, labeling and detaching vacuum hoses, and removing the solenoid(s) by unscrewing the bracket screws. The EGR Vacuum Regulator (EVR) solenoid, located on the engine-mounted solenoid bracket assembly, involves detaching the battery cable, unplugging the sensor harness electrical connector and vacuum hose, and removing the solenoid. The EGR valve, for vehicles with EEGR, necessitates unplugging the electrical connector from the EGR valve position sensor, unscrewing the threaded fitting for external exhaust supply tube (if present), removing the vacuum line and mounting bolts, detaching the valve, and replacing the gasket. If replacing the EGR valve without the position sensor, transfer the sensor to the new valve with a new O-ring. For Thermactor system components, such as the TAB/AIRB or TAD/AIRD solenoid, disconnect the battery, locate the solenoid(s) on the firewall, unplug the electrical connector, label and detach vacuum hoses, remove the solenoid/bracket screws, and detach the solenoid(s). Air pump and control valves on MTA systems involve labeling and disconnecting hoses, replacing the faulty component, and reattaching hoses. For the air supply pump on MTA systems, loosen drivebelts, remove the faulty pump, label hoses, install the new pump, and adjust drivebelts. Replacement of check valves requires using a back-up wrench if connected to a steel air tube. Charcoal canister replacement involves removing a single mounting bolt, lowering the canister, detaching the hose, and reinstalling in reverse. Other component replacements, such as those related to the air inlet control, deceleration throttle control, intake manifold heating, PCV system, and catalytic converter, follow straightforward procedures of disconnecting wires and hoses, removing faulty components, and installing new ones as needed.
