The person working on my car said that my ekg valve was bad. What is it?

 

sure it wasn't egr? egt?
i'd assume the E is exhaust... or maybe the G is gas...
where is this thang located in the engine?

EDIT: are you sure he knew about rotaries? i was once informed by a mechanic (who was my friend.,.. and working with me) that i had a bad piston ring.

 

He probably said EGR.. Exhaust gas Recirculation, cars dont have Electro Cardiographs or whatever.. lol

 

EKG valve is inside the difibrilator used to jump-start heart attack patients, lol...

If he actually said "EKG", find another mechanic

 

No it's not..

e·lec·tro·car·di·o·graph ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-lktr-kärd--grf)
n. Abbr. EKG or ECG
An instrument used in the detection and diagnosis of heart abnormalities that measures electrical potentials on the body surface and generates a record of the electrical currents associated with heart muscle activity. Also called cardiograph.

 

Just in case you aren't joking (or being sarcastic), I WAS...

The "defibs", as we call them, now used on aircraft, have a built-in EKG-type sensor that will prevent anyone using them from shocking the **** out of the "patient" if it detects a heartbeat. Murphy-proof, so to speak.

Hence, my "EKG valve" jist...
