Great video. Straight to the point and clear instructions
Thank you lol. I was having trouble locating the egr valve. My car is idling really bad, not letting it shift right sometimes. Thanks again, will subscribe!
Awesome, so glad it was helpful to you :)
I have 02 lancer oz rally and i appreciate this video it helped a lot... sadly i got some carbon cleaner in my eye from spraying it but its all good...
MrMello808 Oh man, I hope you're good cause I just laughed.
Thanks for the comment :)
🤣 that sucks…
Wd40 in the vacuum port. The diaphragm gets stuck in the open position causing rough idle. No need to remove the egr. Do it when hot. Instant fix.
never spray carb cleaner into the vacuum port of an egr valve. it can damage the rubber diaphragm inside and make your diagnosis really hard. if the vacuum port is clogged then replace the valve and identify why your building up carbon in an egr vacuum port(unusual)
Thanks for your comment +John Smith
I have to disagree with you, carb cleaner shouldn't affect the diaphragm in the EGR as it's designed to be used in cleaning carb diaphragms which are very similar in makeup and design.
I've not had any trouble with this method as well.
Micah G Robinson im not saying your valve is guaranteed to fail immediately if you ever do that. the rubber is made to resist solvents most of the time. this is simply a do it properly critique.
but older egr valves that have dry and brittle diaphragms can be damaged by powerful solvents like carb cleaner. electronics cleaner would be better for this. carb cleaner will heavily increase the rate of off gassing of the rubber, drying the diaphragm even further. even if youve never experienced a diaphragm failure from carb cleaner, i have once. its also bad for the longevity of newer valves, even if it doesn't fail at that moment. just because egr's are built on carbs too doesn't make it ok for carb cleaner to go into the vacuum port. you shouldn't be getting much of any carbon build up in the vacuum port because its not open to gasoline vapor from the intake to reach it once turned off or or car idling. and whenever it does open to the intake, its under vacuum.
see what i mean? thats why you don't see much build up unless that vacuum switching valves or whatever are slightly stuck open leaving it open to intake fumes after the engine is off. makes engines run like shit, or not run too, obviously.
Ditto
Thanks for sharing Micah. So if i got a code P0401 will this routine fix the situation and make the code go away. I got a gas exhaust recirculation insufficient detection.
Great video. engine looks setup very similar to my 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage
+Malaki Dreams Thanks so much! So cool :)
Gonna help me with my mirage 🙏 ty
Thanks man it helped alot
I have this same lancer👍 Did this on my 01 galant and it was a pain to do, the lancer is way easier.
Nice, moving on up :)
Hello micah i had a question i have a 2004 mitsubishi lancer. Did u ever replaced tour fuel filter? Is ur fuel filter in the backseat of your car ? I heard its the whole fuel pump assembly is that the fuel filter connected ? I just want to double check woth you. And if ever have u had an error code came up to your car P0456 small leak… i change my gas cap i bought genuine gas cap from mitsubishi dealership but i still had that small leak. Maybe a little help u had knowledge or u experience this to tour car. Thanks in advance!!
will this help with my problem of my car idling to high ?
hi, why clean out the vacuum tube? It is not connected to the dirty air (gas) at all.
I don't know skajikhan haha
Is there any reason not to have dust free vacuum ports? :D
Great video man. I appreciate it
Hey, you're welcome Jean! Thanks so much for stopping by :)
My car shuts off in drive when braked waiting at red lights or in traffic .. I cleaned it but still having rough idle and staling out .
Ever find out the issue?
same!
Figure it out?? Have same problem
It was a bad gasket 4 me@@gavengoose1741
Any problems with sputtering
Is the same process for the 2008 lancer de?
Thanks for doing this video...it was a big help!
Awesome, very welcome Bob Kelnhofer
Thanks for the kind words :)
Be careful with chemicals on the rubber bladder of the valve
Yeah I noticed my galant idled a little low when I bought it.
+BalzyMcGEE Yeah, I feel like they do that compared to some other brands
H
I replaced my egr valve for my 06 galant my engine light went off but it came back on a couple of hours later. Should I drive it some more to see if it goes back off?
Hmm, that's a weird issue. I'd get the code scanned at a auto parts store and see if the code is the EGR code still.
Sorry, not much more help sadly
Clean your throttle body and reset low idle with the throttle position sensor and adjust low idle speed. Then perform a fresh computer reset.
Hey Micah is your air intake system wont give you problem like have a engine light comes on after replacing aftermarket intake system? Because i just want to get a new intake system and upgrade it like yours. Thanks
No problem at all, no lights. Thanks!
I found and removed the egr valve but there was no air hose attached at all. I just bought this car 2 days ago. I can't seem to find any loose hoses anywhere. Where should the hose be coming from?
+Stephanie West Sorry for the late reply.
The vacuum hose connects from the EGR to a metal hose that runs on the front side of the intake manifold parallel to the motor. There are 3 metal hoses that run this path. Hopefully only one is open and easy to find. Did you get it fixed?
I have an Oz Rally edition Lancer and just tried this. Initially the check engine light went off and it seemed to be fine but after driving it for maybe a mile I lost a ton of power and it started stalling out. I'm not sure whats up but I'm thinking I might have a clogged catalytic converter now from some carbon that blew back through the exhaust.
Carbon likely just resettled into the EGR valve after it dried and now has the EGR stuck open causing it to dump in too much exhaust gases into the cylinder so now there isn't enough actual air for proper combustion
Do you have to disconnect the battery ?or will it go off by its self once you clean the valve ?
guatemalan flash it probably will go off by itself eventually, but disconnecting the battery will speed that process up
Hi Micah its me again.... Can i clean the EGR Valve even i dont have a check engine light on for EGR Valve?
Sure, it's a good idea to clean it from time to time even without a light.
Hey Micah, thanks for the video, was getting egr code. Cleaned it and no code now. On your intake what is the black box on top of it with all of the yellow writing?
Glad to hear it Joshua Miller :)
Thanks for the comment!
That's my upgraded 501 Mitsubishi throttle body. It came from a jink yard (hence the yellow marker) out of a Gallant. I also flashed my ROM on my computer to take advantage of the added breathing capacity.
+Micah G Robinson hey man, how did you flash your rom? I did a EGR delete when I got my RRM ported and polished intake and throttle body. Now it is throwing a low flow code and I am NOT hooking it back up lol.
Dillan Addington Yeah, that’s what happens when you remove the part but don’t reprogram the computer to ignore the egr. It senses low flow because there is NO flow. Hence, check engine light.
How about a video for an egr valve change on a 2004 Mitusbishi Galant?
Sorry, I'm just a guy that works on my own car when it needs it and make those videos.
Your EGR should be pretty much the same to replace so this video should get you where you need to be.
Micah G Robinson Haha.. Yeah that’s what i was thinking. If it’s from the same manufacturer i’m sure i’d be pretty universal just not 100% in terms of exact location.
I'am changing my intake to a short ram.... SO if i took it off my old intake i can easily get the access on EGR valve and clean it before i install a new intake?
It's a lot easier to gain access to with the factory intake out of the way for sure. Yes I think it'd be a good time for sure.
Micah not sire if i ask you about the symptoms of EGR if its bad… i had loosing power sometimes when i press the gas pedal rapidly.
Micah g Robinson hi man i have a lanser like yours I wanna ask you something when you unplug the battery does affect the air intake I really don't know how that works
i would like to know more now that we have same cars I would really appreciated thanks have a great one
Edgar Santana. the battery shouldnt have anything to do with air flow im doin the same on my galant 99 it has alot of carbon i use sand paper then crab cleaner
carb
oh ok thanks that helps me a lot
Would this help for a 2008 Mitsubishi lancer, I'm being told that an new one will cost over 500 dollars.
It's worth a shot. Cleaning them very often fixes the issue and then you can avoid the replacement. You'll have to clear the code after you clean it and see if the check engine code comes back on.
Good luck!
@@mci2727 thank you so much for answering !!!!
For sure! Let me know how it goes or if anything pops up :)
Where did you get your cold air intake?
+Nathan Timaitre Thanks for your question
It's a AME cold air intake for my year/model, not 100% sure if they're still made but I'm a fan :)
Only work on manual Lancers though, a auto trans is in the way sadly
Can you spray inside the vacuum line as well?
hb713 Sorry for the late reply. You can but you don't want to leave any standing liquid in your system for fear of hydro-locking your motor. So if you spray in a vacuum line I'd just make sure you let it drip out before you put it all back together. Thanks!
massive trash from gas tank cause everything to burn up trash burn up egr vàlve strain fuel pump.....clean egr vàlve or replace 93 supreme gas and a couple bottles of gas treatment should clean this out and stop service engine light from coming on
My 02 lancer shakes when in Drive at a complete stop. I don't know what is wrong. Any suggestions?
Gao Ee Yang Is it not throwing any check engine codes? Have you had it long? I ask because these cars idle a little rough from the factory due to the factory set low RPM idle (though you can't raise it without throwing codes either lol)
A correctly running 2.0L Lancer with factory tune, intake, exhaust etc. will sound almost like a Volkswagen diesel at idle.
my car did the same thing....front left woyld shake...i allready knew what the problem was though.it was a transmission mount...354$ later.problem solved and it runs smooth..hope i helped...it could be a engine mount aswell....these are just suggestions for you
have you a petrol engine or diesel engine?
It's gasoline Attila Nagy though people often comment that it sounds like a Volkswagen diesel lol
Tengo mitsubishi lancer oz 2002 cuando le doy gasolina se apaga que podría ser el problema prende pero al precionarle el pedal de gasolina se apaga
chequea tu distribuidor
Just gonna go buy a new valve seem to be fairly cheap
you shouldn't spray carb cleaner into the vacuum port it will eat away at the diaphragm that opens and closes the valve and there is no carbon build up there

Is the same process for the 2008 lancer de?
