To clean the EGR passages on a Ford Escape, first, disconnect the battery and remove the EGR valve. Use a suitable cleaner, such as throttle body or carburetor cleaner, to spray into the EGR passages, allowing it to soak to dissolve carbon buildup. A flexible brush or pipe cleaner can help scrub the passages gently. After cleaning, ensure everything is dry and reassemble the components before reconnecting the battery.

How do you clean out my egr passages?

To clean out your EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) passages, first, remove the EGR valve and any associated components. Use a combination of a vacuum cleaner and a specialized EGR cleaner or carburetor cleaner to remove carbon buildup from the passages. A small brush or pipe cleaner can help dislodge stubborn deposits. Finally, reassemble the components and ensure all connections are secure before testing the vehicle.

If you have changed your egr valve and deleted the code and it still reads p0401 egr valve insuffasante flow what do you do now?

You also need to clean the "passages". EGR valve puts exhaust gas back into the engine intake under less than full power situations. When that happens exhaust deposits build up on the walls of the passages. Replacing the EGR valve was only half the repair, you also need to clean it out. There is a tube from under the EGR valve to the exhaust manifold. That is probably blocked.

You have to remove the egr tube, vacuum source and two bolts. the tube can be quite difficult. Generally the DPFE sensor on Fords is the cause of an EGR problem though.


Where is the egr valve on a 2001 Ford Escape?

2001 Ford Escape EGR locationThe 2001 Ford Escape EGR is located on the "top" of the engine slightly back toward the firewall. The right side connects to a tube from the exhaust manifold. The left side connects to the intake manifold. It is further recognizable by the vacuum tube (about 1/4" o.d) that goes from the EGR to the EVS (exhaust vacuum solinoid). IMHO, very accessable. Good luck It looks like a black flying saucer with a small 1/4 inch hose coming from the top of it.
