Advice for a friend. EGR Valve.

Postby hotsocks » Thu Jan 14, 2010 9:31 pm

Hello Chaps. I have a friend who has a 2003 2.4. 90 T350 lwb Transit and has just recently had a brand new engine fitted.
He has given me this note to ask you good chaps.
The note says.
He says he has just done 500 miles in it since the new engine but has been getting bad fuel consumption since the new engine. He has just remembered that he blocked off the EGR Valve on the old engine. Since the new engine has been fitted the egr valve is still blocked off.

Should the egr valve still be blocked off on a new engine?
Or should everything be put back to factor spec whiles running the new engine in?



TTFN.
