Explorer V8 EGR valve replacement
Dave Horoschak 26 February 2005 22:49:51
	Does anyone know where I can find the instructions for replacing the EGR valve in a 96 Explorer V8? None of the typical manuals (Chiltons, Haynes) cover the V8 in enough detail for this to be included. Thanks. - Dave

Kevin D 4 March 2005 09:05:55 [ permanent link ]
	Dave, which Haynes manual do you have? I have the1991 thru 2000 model year manual. On page 6-26 is a pretty detailed procedure for R&R of the valve. You only need to remove 2 bolts, a vacuum hose and the pipe retaining nut. You might need to tap on the valve to break it loose. Once it's out, remove the old gasket material. If the mounting flange is dirty, clean it with some fine steel wool. Use a new gasket (should come with the new valve). Replace the bolts, vac hose and pipe, tighten everything up, and you're done.

	Yes, you're correct - I assumed that the valve would be the same regardless of engine. I'm surprised that it is different. I've replaced EGR valves on my cars starting with a '78 Chevy that I bought new, and they've all been essentially the same - two bolts at the base, and a vac line to the diaphragm. Not all have had a pipe, tho. Sorry I can't be more helpful! Kevin "Dave Horoschak" <dth930@comcast.net> wrote in message news:I7adnUffOKHgpLTfRVn-sw@comcast.com...> Yes - that's the same one I have.

Im not sure where it is under my hood but this is the most similar part compared to most others.

	No it is not, that part is a vaccum operated water valve for the heater.

Although your layout is different, it looks close enough to mine to assume the valve’s location is the same. In your third picture look at the nut that is approximately three inches down from the end of your transmission check dip stick and directly in front of it. That is the top nut which attaches the EGR valve to the extreme corner of your intake manifold on the passenger side as shown in your picture(On mine there is also a lower attaching nut.). The nut is also right next to your EGR vaccum control valve. This is the round black plastic unit with the six slotted cutouts, which from your picture is approximately two to three inches to the right of the red wire. Assuming that your EGR valve is at least visually the same as mine, there should be a plastic EGR valve sensor attached to the back of your EGR valve with an electrical cable attached. If you are going to clean it only you might want to buy a new gasket for your re-installing it. If you still have trouble identifying it I suggest a visit to your Ford and ask to examine one. Good luck.

	Forgot to mention, see that curved silver painted elbow-like part in the first and third picture? That part is called an "EGR Spacer" the EGR valve is mounted on the backside of that part facing the firewall On 14 Mar 2005 19:34:56 -0500, phoeneous <DoNotEmail@AutoForumz.com> wrote: http://www.photohost.org/gallery/data/500/92egrfront.jpg> http://www.photohost.org/gallery/data/500/92egrright.jpg> http://www.photohost.org/gallery/data/500/92egrleft.jpg

Can you take a pic of yours? Phoeneous, I don’t have a picture of my installation. What is the make and year of your vehicle? With this info I can look up the part nos. for your EGR Valve and the EGR Valve Position Sensor that mounts on the back of it (assuming yours is the same as mine). If the parts number are the same as mine I can give you a website which shows actual views of the parts. Even if yours aren’t the same as mine and if views are available for your vechile, I will provide you the info for locating the views so you can use them to locate the parts on your vehicle. The unit that you circled on your first picture is most likely a part of your heating system, because it looks like its attached to the heater hoses, as in my vehicle.

	"phoeneous" wrote: > Fred, can you edit the pics I posted and point to the area you > are referring to? Im confused Phoenous, You need to state the year and make of your vehicle. For instance the EGR valve in my 96 Explorer 5.0L looks like the info that I provided you and applies to my year and make. My car’s ianstallation is also like the info Fred2 provided you. However, for instance, at the site www.rockauto.com which I previously provided you, it lists two different Ford(Motorcraft) Valve Part Nos. for a 97 Explorer 5.0L and they are significantly different. One is exactly like mine and the other is very different and doesn’t use an EGR valve position sensor. For your vehicle, you must look at this site and determine which one you have. Hopely, yours is like the second one and not like mine. First the second one is smaller, half the price and doesn’t require an EGR valve position sensor. Fred has shown you where on your intake manifold it is and you need to compare yours to the 97 example that I gave to determine which one your vehicle has.

	Thank you to everyone who posted pics and provided information. I finally got this finished, though it was tough getting the bottom nut back on the EGR valve. In the process, I noticed that one of the lines that runs to the canister attached to the EGR spacer (vapor control solenoid?) was cracked and broken. I managed to get it reconnected. My question is - what does this part do? One line is connected to the EGR valve. I wasn't able to trace the broken one. Am I liable to run into future problems because of this? Thanks again. - Dave Fred 2 wrote:> Go the the URL below and look at the 2 scans and the captions below> them> http://ourplaceusa.home.att.net/egr.htm> On 15 Mar 2005 16:18:48 -0500, phoeneous > Fred, can you edit the pics I posted and point to the area you are>>referring to?
