A recirculation gas flow control and distribution assembly that includes an electric motor and a pump coupled to the electric motor. The pump includes a pump housing with a pump inlet and a pump outlet. The pump inlet is fluidly connected to a recirculated gas. At least one nozzle is directly connected to the pump housing. A passage is formed in the pump housing and nozzle linking the pump inlet to the nozzle. An injector is coupled to the nozzle, the injector is fluidly connected to a fuel. A valve is disposed in the passage, the valve is movable between open and closed positions. The recirculated gas is selectively passed to the pump outlet and fuel is selectively feed into the nozzle.
