Meter exhaust flow back into the intake and help your engine run cleaner with the Standard Ignition Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve EGV879. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Nissan Altima with the L4-2.4L engine, restoring the emissions-control function handled by the original valve.
Signs the EGR valve may need replacing include a rough or unstable idle, engine pinging or knocking under load, or an EGR-related check-engine code. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the system before replacing — if a failed EGR valve is the cause, this valve replaces it.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number EGV879.
