The EGR system helps lower NOx emissions by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas back into the engine. However, it can become clogged over time, leading to:

Increased emissions.
Rough idling and poor engine performance.

Signs of failure:

Check Engine Light CEL.
Engine misfires o r rough idle.
Poor acceleration and higher emissions.

Solution: Regularly clean the EGR valve and check for any faults in the system.
