EGR valve replacement
 

Hello,
I need some help here. I have a 2006 300 3.5 V6 and the check engine light came on.I took it to the dealer to have it scanned and got a code that read Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit High. I was told that the EGR valve might need to be cleaned or possibly changed cause it might have some build-up on it. Has anyone ever have this problem and what did you do to fix it? I can do it myself< but not to sure were the valve is on this car. Any help would be great.

The ckt is the electrical part of the EGR so cleaning it wont do any good replace the whole thing.

I purchased my 04 pacifica in April 2007. Immediately after purchase, the check engine light went on, took it back to dealer and they ran codes 0441 & 0440, replaced the purge solenoid. Engine light went on again 5 days before the parts 1 yr. warranty expired but dealer could getme until a week later (after part expired). Ran codes, same part failed, they replaced and i had to pay 1/2 of parts and labor. I'm 3 weeks into having a new part and it has failed again. Does anyone know whats going on?

they may be putting perfectly good parts on your car. p0440 is a general evap system failure and 0441 is the code for the purge solenoid. Sounds to me that the nvld pump/switch need to be replaced.

Ok i have to replace my EGR on a 2006 c300 3.5. Can you post all the info. and pic from shop repair book so i can get this going. Thanks Dave

replacing egr valve
 

I have a 2005 Chrysler 300 with a 2.7 and need to replace the egr valve. I'm trying to find out where it's located and how to take off the intake. Is there anywhere I could find a diagram?

I just had my EGR valve replaced by Stauss auto. I did this because my check engine light was on and the code pointed to egr. Car now idles roughly while at light. Never happened before. Check engine light is off now but car running worse. I want to complain to mechanic but what did they do incorrectly?

Start a new thread from now on please. Your post gets buried in these old threads.
What car...what engine please?

Sorry I omitted this-2005 300 limited with 3.5l 6 cylinder

They probably split the seal on the EGR tube where it goes into the back of the intake.
