Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Systems: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2021 Lincoln Navigator, 2021 Lincoln Nautilus, 2021 Lincoln Corsair, 2021 Lincoln Aviator, and 2021 Ford Transit-350 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Overview
The EGR system controls the nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions. Small amounts of exhaust gases are recirculated back into the combustion chamber to mix with the air to fuel charge. The combustion chamber temperature is reduced, lowering NO x emissions.
