Detailed Product Description

The Standard Ignition EGR Valve, part number EGV601, is an electronically controlled component that regulates the flow of exhaust gases back into the intake manifold to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. Featuring a female oval connector and five male blade terminals, this valve ensures accurate communication with the vehicle’s engine control unit. The two-bolt hole design allows for straightforward installation and secure fitment. This valve does not include gaskets, so replacement gaskets should be sourced separately during installation.
