The Engine Management System (EMS) on your Toyota Camry makes use of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve not only to cut back combustion temperatures and fuel consumption, but also to allow a managed amount of exhaust gas into the intake manifold to cut back oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Oxides of nitrogen, launched in excessive quantities into the environment, contribute to the production of ozone in smog, which is a major eye and respiratory irritant. Thus, a foul EGR in your Camry is not going to only have an effect on engine efficiency, but in addition enhance harmful emissions.
