Does your diesel sprinter van feel like it shudders then surges, feels like it runs out of fuel for a second then starts again, or hesitates under light throttle? maybe your egr valve is dirty. In this video I go through the easy process of cleaning your egr valve to fix that hesitation. the EGR or Exhaust Gas recirculation valve is a valve that allows some exhaust gasses to flow back into the intake air to reburn that gas creating a cleaner exhaust. In diesel engines that valve gets coated with carbon sometimes to the point that it does not open properly and makes the engine feel like it is hesitating or stalling under light throttle. the dealer will charge over $500.00 to do this simple cleaning you can do in your drive way. Check out the video and see how. In my research when i bought my van i found that this egr valve design gets dirty quickly especially if the van idles alot. You will need:
