An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooling apparatus of an engine for a vehicle includes: a cylinder block comprising cylinder chambers, a water jacket extending along the cylinder chambers, and a space with inlets and outlets passing through the water jacket so that the cooling water circulates into the space through the inlets and the outlets; an EGR cooler coupled to the cylinder block adjacent the space of the cylinder block to cover the space from one side of the cylinder block, and comprising gas flow paths in the space to circulate exhaust gas through the gas flow paths inside the space; and an insert guide disposed between the plurality of cylinder chambers and the space and blocking flow of the cooling water circulating in the water jacket.

An integrated exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve housing includes: a temperature control passage configured to include a first cooling channel which connects a water jacket formed in an engine to a radiator and a second cooling channel which is branched from the first cooling channel and extends to an EGR cooler cooling re-circulated exhaust gas; and an auxiliary cooling passage configured to guide cooling water introduced into the second cooling channel to the EGR valve housing, whereby it is possible to easily dispose the EGR valve housing in the engine compartment by integrating the parts through which the cooling water is discharged from the engine with the cooling water channel connected to the EGR valve housing.

A method for diagnosing an electric water pump of an internal combustion engine includes determining whether a present condition is a coil-open diagnosis condition that enables diagnosis of whether any coil of a sensorless 3-phase motor used in the electric water pump is open. When the coil-open diagnosis condition is satisfied, whether a coil of one phase is open is determined by using a change in phase currents. When the coil-open diagnosis condition is satisfied, whether coils of two phases are open is determined by using a magnitude of a motor torque or a magnitude of an average phase current. When the coil-open diagnosis condition is satisfied, whether any coil of the motor is open during driving of the motor is determined by using a variation in the motor torque.
