Why is the EGR valve on an Isuzu Rodeo Dirty?
The Isuzu Rodeo’s EGR valve recirculates exhaust gasses back into the combustion chamber for more complete burning. The Rodeo uses a canister-shaped EGR valve that is electronically controlled (as opposed to mechanically operated). The valve will naturally become dirty over time because of the carbon building up inside the valve from the exhaust.
What should I do if my EGR valve is not working?
Work the pipe-cleaner wire brush in and out of the valve opening. Make sure that you clean all of the carbon out of the valve opening. Reinstall the EGR valve, tighten the screws and repeat steps 1 & 2. If the plunger on the valve is still not moving, the EGR valve has failed and needs to be replaced.
What’s the best way to clean an Isuzu Rodeo valve?
Inspect the valve opening for carbon buildup. Then, fill the valve opening with carburetor cleaner and allow it to soak for several hours. Be sure that you do not get any cleaner onto the electrical contacts of the valve. Dump the carburetor cleaner out into a bucket and clean the valve opening with a bendable pipe cleaner brush.

Where is the EGR valve on a carburetor?
Turn the EGR valve upside down so that the valve opening is visible. The top part of the EGR valve is where the electrical connector is, and the bottom is where the mounting holes are. Inspect the valve opening for carbon buildup. Then, fill the valve opening with carburetor cleaner and allow it to soak for several hours.
