Thank you very much for the video! I have an ‘84 Caprice with all of the symptoms you listed! I’ll put in a new EGR, hopefully that’ll work!

Dude this is crazy as fuck 🙃 I watch all your 85 caprice videos, learning stuff to work on my own 85 caprice and I just spent countless hours around a month before you uploaded this specific video figuring out the EGR valve system, replacing the thermostat+housing, replacing the entirety of my vacuum hoses and 3 new sensors and set it all up to factory specs after it being dilapidated since the car was built/mechanics Making shortcuts by capping ports etc. Learned on my own about that EGR valve yeah but I sure would've loved to have this video out just a month sooner 🤣 love your videos. You have shown me sooo much more than any repair manual or internet forum. Hope you continue your 1985 caprice videos for as long as you can make them. 👍👍

Thank for the video! I have an '84 Caprice (305-engine). The idle is a bit rough at times, although I've been told that the carburetor needs to be rebuilt, I might as well replace the EGR. Your video showed me how easy it is to do!

Watched your video last weekend. Immediately went out to the garage and tested my egr. It’s good but tons of carbon build up. Cleaned as much as possible and vacuumed out the ports to the engine. Worked pretty good

@SasiExpLosioN: thanks! The wiring is surprisingly complex in my view. I would suggest getting a copy or reprint of the shop manual, which has lots of color-coded diagrams showing all the connections. Does your car work or is the wiring so messed up that the car won’t even run?

@@SasiExpLosioN : there are some shop manual reprints and CDs on Amazon - search for “1985 caprice shop manual” and see the first four or five hits. If you bought the car without the engine and put in a 350cid v8 (original police package option or after-market non-Chevrolet?) that might make it very difficult to get to an OEM state with the car. MAYBE if it’s an original Chevy 350 v8. There is info for all the different engine options, carburetor, TBI, etc in the manual such that maybe you could redo all the connections. But that sounds like it would be a HUGE project. Also, I’m not sure what the emissions components are or were in your region and maybe different. I have maintained the original emissions reducing components on mine and I can tell you there are a lot of wires and hoses for all those parts - it looks like a rats nest. But when everything is working properly it’s really smooth. Sorry I don’t use Telegram. Definitely check out Amazon or eBay to pick up a shop manual.

Nice video . Just changed the fuel pump on mine. I’m having the same exact symptoms but mine also stalls out when I put it in reverse and when I come to a complete stop sometimes. I’m wondering if this could be the issue… Bought the car with a Avs 2 Edelbrock carburetor

@therealnickd3011: those are the symptoms I had that led me to replacing the EGR valve. Other thoughts: make sure the fuel filter isn’t clogged, and check all the hoses running to/from that aftermarket carb-I’m not sure if that’s messing with any sensors. Mine still has the original connections for all the rudimentary sensors and emissions stuff.

@@LongologoProductions yeah 305 with a stock QJ 4-barrel carb. I was happy to get 1 that had the QJ because I thought it would give better mpg than the ones with the aftermarket carbs on them, and whose engines have been ran through by amateurs. Either this carb and engine was tuned too rich, or the headgasket is slowly but surely going out. It idles at like 2600 rpm I believe, think that's way too fast according to the sticker on top of the radiator cowl. Someone wanted power not efficiency with this one I believe

How much fuel do you use per 60 miles?
@LongologoProductions
@LongologoProductions Жыл бұрын
slightly less than 4 gallons, and that it likely because our fuel is required to have added ethanol here, which negatively affects gas mileage on old cars.
