Hello; During last month I've noticed a little "explosion" (like "poff"!!) turning the engine off. It seems to be produced at the exhaust manifold... Has anybody suffered from similar thing? Thanks in advance.... Daniel |

EGR Flow control valve not closing at shut down? |

I've changed the ECU of my 2006'KJ and now is a ECU of a 2007'KJ. The behaviour of the FCV is different from 2006 and 2007 (new reflash to avoid the premature breakdown of the FCV). Anyone with a 2007 KJ that can confirm if I'm true? Thanks. |

South Africa? Probably not many 2007 CRD owners on this board. |

not too many 2007 crd owners here. there are some international owners on KJ country but the CRD forum is slower than here. |

Mine is a April 2007 build (one of the last I think), and I was unaware of an ECU flash for fixing FCV longevity. Since I am running the GDE tune its probably irrelevant to me now. I have never had a problem like the one described and the FCV works just fine. I do have a local friend with a 2005 CRD that had to replace his FCV (it failed) and he was concerned about the 'runaway' possibilities. |

Hello; I've opened the FCV and the plastic gear (it usually breaks off) is OK!! The thing is; turning the engine off, the valve doesn't close, but the gears are OK!! I think there must be an electric failure in the FCV. Has anybody suffered anything similar? Thanks in advance. Daniel |

Is the ECU commanding the FCV to close? Probably a pulse width modulation signal. Measure DC voltage feeding the FCV at engine shutdown. |

Yes, I think the ECU is OK because this is the second FCV broken. The other I replaced, worked perfectly until one month ago. I've opened the first that broken off (it isn't mounted now) and I saw the gears are OK. I think both FCV has the same failure.... Thanks |
