Default Checking EGR & PCV valves
Guys, I would like to check if EGR and PCV valves are working OK.
PCV valve is correctly connected to the manifold vacuum, while EGR is not connected any more. Any suggestions on how to check them? Thanks

PCV test is typically if it rattles when you shake it, it's not stuck. With the engine running, if you pull the valve out of the valve cover you will feel suction on the exposed end.
