Detailed Description

Standard Ignition EGV318 is an exhaust gas recirculation valve for emission control service on a range of Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, and related GM vehicles. It is a mechanical unit with no electrical connector, making it a straightforward replacement for applications that use a vacuum-operated EGR design. The stainless steel valve components and reinforced silicone diaphragm are built to handle heat exposure in demanding underhood conditions, while the included gasket supports a proper seal during installation. This part cross-references Carlson 41062 for the same application.

Vehicle coverage includes Fits 1985-1989 Chevrolet Camaro, N/A; Fits 1985-1989 Pontiac Firebird, N/A; and Fits 1985-1986 Chevrolet Celebrity, N/A. It also covers select older GM applications such as Fits 1976-1980 Cadillac Seville, N/A and Fits 1977-1978 Pontiac Sunbird, N/A, depending on the original emission setup.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• EGR valve sticking from heat and carbon buildup
• Rough idle caused by improper exhaust gas recirculation flow
• Emission test failure related to EGR system malfunction
• Vacuum-operated EGR valve leakage or diaphragm wear
• Check engine concerns tied to EGR performance on equipped vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original valve style, bolt pattern, hose connection, and emission calibration before installation. This part uses 2 bolt holes and 1 hose connector, with no electrical connector, so it should be matched to the vehicle’s mechanical EGR configuration. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly and replace the gasket during service to help ensure a proper seal.
