EGR Valve
4.2L, 4.6L, 5.4L and 6.8L Engines
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the vacuum hose from the EGR valve.
3. On the 4.6L engine, remove the nut and brake booster bracket.
4. On the 5.4L engine, remove the DPFE sensor retaining nuts and place the sensor to the side to allow access to the EGR tube.
5. Disconnect the EGR valve-to-exhaust manifold tube from the EGR valve.
6. Remove the EGR valve mounting bolts, then separate the valve from the intake manifold.
7. Remove and discard the old EGR valve gasket, and clean the gasket mating surfaces on the valve and the intake manifold.
To Install:
8. Install the EGR valve, along with a new gasket, on the manifold, then install and tighten the mounting bolts.
9. Connect the EGR valve-to-exhaust manifold tube to the valve, then tighten the tube nut to 25-35 lbs. (34-47 Nm).
10. Connect the vacuum hose to the EGR valve.
11. On the 5.7L engine, install the DPFE sensor.
12. On the 4.6L engine install the brake booster bracket and the retaining nut.
13. Connect the negative battery cable.
Yes, it does have an EGR valve.
How do you replace the EGR Valve on a 2001 Ford Escape?
You could transfer the upper intake manifold from the old engine to the new one one, and voila! you now have a non-EGR engine!
just unbolt the valve
I was looking on fordparts.com at the 2004 Ford Ranger with the 3.0 liter V6 engine and it doesn't list an EGR valve for the 3.0 liter like it does for the 4.0 or 2.3 liter
Right on top of the valve cover.
The EGR valve, on a 2004 Ford F150 5.4 liter engine, is located on the top of the engine near the back. The valve is difficult to identify without prior mechanical knowledge.
Remove the wiring from the top of the EGR then unbolt it at the bottom of the EGR system. You may need to replace the gasket after replacing the EGR itself
On the 4.0 L OHV engine, the EGR valve is located on the driver's side of the engine. how do i repair it
On your 1999 Ford Ranger , 4.0 liter EFI , V6 engine : I believe the EGR valve is just to the left of your engine oil dipstick ( when you look into the engine compartment from the drivers side ) The EGR valve is lower down and has a round shaped top
Many Ford Rangers of this decade did not have EGR valves. If the vehicle in question does have one, it will be located on the upper intake manifold.
At least some Aerostars (like the 1990 3 liter) do not have an EGR valve, they use a 3 way catalytic converter.
