Start and run engine to normal operating temperature. With engine at idle, push up on underside of EGR diaphragm. RPM should drop as EGR valve is opened. If RPM does not drop, remove EGR valve and check for blocked EGR passages. If RPM drops as diaphragm is lifted and EGR vacuum supply is regulated by an ECM-controlled solenoid, verify vacuum is available to solenoid at 2000 RPM and check solenoid.

CAUTION: Wear gloves if handling EGR valve when it is hot.
