Automobile Valve Stem System

Model: Ford Escort MK 4 - Years 1990-2000
Part: Engine

This valve system circulates a portion of exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold, aiming to lower the combustion temperature of the unburnt mixture. Every car has this system, which helps comply with anti-pollution regulations. This valve system is located near the intake manifold. Use a Torx spanner to unscrew the two screws holding it to the engine, then you can proceed to clean everything. Once done, it is advisable to reassemble everything as it was and reconnect the previously disconnected connector.
