EGR Solenoids - Contamination

Article No. 85-13-5


EGR SOLENOIDS - CONTAMINATION

FORD 1980-1985 ALL WITH ELECTRONIC EGR CONTROL AND VENT SOLENOIDS

LINCOLN-MERCURY 1980-1985 ALL WITH ELECTRONIC EGR CONTROL AND VENT SOLENOIDS

The use of starter fluids (ether and xylene), choke and/or fuel injector cleaners, can contaminate the EGR control and vent solenoids EGRC/EGRY. These solvents may affect the upper elastomer tip of the solenoid armature, causing an inoperative condition.

Care must also be used to avoid getting these starter fluids into the vacuum harness, and contaminating these emission components in this way.
