Exhaust vacuum valve for EGR
This isn't on my bird but my 86 chevy truck. On the passenger side there is a valve on the outlet of the exhaust manifold operated by vacuum. I believe it is related to the EGR system. My question is, does the actuator pull the valve closed with high vacuum or does high vacuum open it? I'm thinking that at WOT you would want it open, not restricting the flow plus you wouldn't have the vacuum to pull it open therefore it should be open at low vacuum.
What I'm getting at is if there isn't a vacuum line to operate the valve it should be open all the time.
Am I right?
I hope someone can help me out here,
Thanks,,, Matt
