pavlich Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hello! I have a focus 1.8 tdci 2009... At slightly faster acceleration ( overtaking or evenaccelerate uphill ) engine management light comes on( red exclamationmark )... or sometimes the orange light for error on ... if I restart theengine the red engine management light doesn't light any more...while orange lightfor engine usually lights for a day... I noticed that the car after error message has noticeablymore power (before it doesn't have the power that it should have) . Occasionally when I roll at the intersection or stop attraffic lights out of gear ...is the engine running sometimes restles... I do not know ifthis has something to do with it .... I had the car at the mechanics and he does not know exactlywhat it should be ... because a mistake for air flow meter and possible error forEGR valve is reported ... He tried to clean the EGR valve , but he could not open it...But flap opens well ... I wonder how to clean the EGR valve ? Has one of you had similar problems and succeeded toeliminate them…and where could possibly be a mistake ? Greetings and Thanks for all the answers!

jeebowhite Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 to clean the EGR valve you would need to remove it and then remove any carbon buildup. I would start by using electrical contact cleaner, remove the Mass Air Flow sensor, and soak it repeatedly, let it dry and set it back in place. You might benefit from blanking the EGR valve in order to bypass the EGR valve which should give better performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
