The egr valve is on the passenger side of the motor. It is a round canister at the back almost at the firewall.
Looking down on the engine, the EGR valve is to the right of the rocker cover, connected to the head.
behind your trotle body on top of your intake
The egr valve is located on the drivers side of the engine on the rear of the intake manifold. Its held on by 2 bolts and has a vacuum line on the top of the diaphram.
On the driver side firewall next to the evap and brake booster
The EGR valve should be located towards the rear and center of the engine. Just remove the hoses and unbolt from the engine. Looks like a flying saucer or dashpot design
If you have an egr valve failure why are you replacing th oxygen sensor? Most likely the EGR valve assembly is blocked or partially blocked. Often they build up exhaust deposits on the EGR valve and ports.
The 0401 code on a 1996 Ford Ranger typically indicates an issue with the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system, specifically that the EGR flow is insufficient. This could be due to a clogged EGR valve, a malfunctioning EGR sensor, or issues with the vacuum lines that control the EGR system. It's important to inspect these components for proper function, as they play a critical role in reducing emissions and ensuring optimal engine performance. Regular maintenance and addressing the code promptly can prevent further engine issues.
I have a 96 ranger with the 3L V-6, and if they used the same configuration, the EGR system is on top of the engine above the drivers side head covers. dont know if it helped ya, but it's what i know...
the egr valve is located on the back left side of the engine. getting to it is easier from underneath the car. (up on jacks). I had the same thing on a 96 mx-6. we canged the egr boost solinoid sensor located on the air intake box
On a 1996 Ford Explorer ( that has the 4.0 L EFI V6 engine ) the EGR valve is located on the drivers side of the engine beside the engine oil dipstick ( it is lower down and has a round top on it )
Pull the black tube that connects to the top of the EGR valve itself and plug it with something. I used a metal coat hanger head but I recommend something metal that is non-flammable and straight.
