Part Identification, Help Please

[east london ed]

hi all,

finally found out what is causing my 206cc to cut out and run like a bag of nails, only problem is i don't know what its called, i've circled the unidentified part, please help...

[Capncol]

EGR valve. Just blank it off.

thank for the ID cap'n, is it not a nessecary emission thing then?

[Capncol]

It is an emission device, but your car will still pass an emissions test at the mot.
It's purpose is to *recycle* some of the exhaust gasses back through the inlet under certain conditions. Unfortunately, as it is exhaust gasses passing through the EGR, they tend to get blocked with soot, carbon and oily deposits which tends to stop them closing properly resulting in a constant stream of exhaust gasses leaking into the inlet causing rough running.
Your choices are:-
Clean it out (not often successful and likely to soon give trouble again)
Replace it with new
Fabricate a new metal gasket to blank off the exhaust passages and refit old unit.

Trouble is, as a car engine gets old and worn, it produces more deposits in the exhaust, so if you put a new unit on you are likely to have to do it again in a year - eighteen months time.

hi all again,

borrowed a cheap and nasty diag tool from part shop round the corner, these are the results...

any comments and solutions greatly apprieciated

[Capncol]

Does it misfire?

[east london ed]

yes, misfire and cutting out

[Capncol]

In that case have a look at the injectors.

[east london ed]

how would i test them and what am i looking for?

[Capncol]

Well from your fault codes look at 2&3 Measure the impedance compared with 1&4. Should be about 14.5 Ohm. Then check the plug onto the injectors. . Measure voltage both pins (one at a time) to ground (neg) Should see 13-14V on 1 an 0 on the other. If that all checks out see if you can borrow a set of noids and check them with those connected.
Post up your results please.

might take me a couple of days as I have to borrow a multimeter but will defo post results
