Which outcome occurs when a diesel engine's exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve fails open?

💡 Explanation

When the EGR valve fails open, excessive exhaust gas is recirculated, leading to lower combustion temperatures which inhibits complete combustion because of reduced oxygen concentration, thus promoting particulate emissions. Therefore increased particulate matter results, rather than reduced NOx, oil viscosity changes, or improving fuel efficiency at idle, which require controlled EGR function.
