[quote][i]Originally posted by Dave A[/i] it wont 'blast through the EGR' as someone said. the egr valve has a feeed from the exhaust port in cylinder 4. it uses vaccum from cylinder 4 in the lower part of the inlet manifold to 'suck' a small amount of exhausted combustion gas through the valve and into the throttle body so that it can be put back into the induction system and reburned through all 4 cylinders. this reduces fuel consumption and hydrocarbons when there is no throttle applied, the main component in the 'ecotec' system. I fail to see how using redex will help remove carbon deposits from the EGR tracts in the head or the valve itself as once it gets to the stage of being used in the EGR process it has already been burned, and it is now a carbon deposit itself. thats my geeky tech lesson for this evening, more tomorrow. :wave: [/quote]
