Re: what is EGR?
exhaust gas recirculation
It allows a small amount of exhaust gas back into the cylinder to keep it cool (keep cylinder temp. down), therefore keeping the emmission called nox down. Nox causes smog.
Egr only works while cruising. Closed at WOT

Re: what is EGR?
Egr is added on part throttle by adding exhaust gases (low o2 content)to intake charge. This addition of inert gas to the combustion chamber causes it less heat production during combustion. High level combustion chamber tempurtures cause high NOX & spark knock/detonation.
