Explorer V8 EGR valve replacement
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 |

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 - that's the same one I have. That section only covers the V6. The
whole EGR system on the V8 that I have is considerably different. - Dave Kevin D wrote: > Dave, which Haynes manual do you have? I have the1991 thru 2000 model year > manual.

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" > wrote in message ... > Yes - that's the same one I have. That section only covers the V6.

I felt ripped off. Since I requested my original parts to be saved, I feel confident in doing it myself next time. The following the is the procedure that I would use. Buy parts or examine the parts used. From this examination it can be seen that the EGR sensor mounts on the back of the EGR value by three small nuts. Before starting I WOULD DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST. I would carefully remove these three nuts first and then remove the electrical connector from the sensor(because it is held top and bottom by the electrical connector’s slip clips, I see that I can’t easily get to the lower clip when the sensor is mounted on the back of the EGR Valve). Although the quarters are tight, the bottom retaining bolt or nut on the EGR Valve should be now be accessible with either a universal joint/socket combination or a special purpose wrench. After removing the EGR valve and cleaning the surface. The installation of a new EGR could be done in reverse order. I would attach the electrical cable to the EGR sensor after it is mounted to the back of the EGR valve. This way should allow me more room to install the three small EGR sensor nuts. Although, I haven’t performed the above installation myself this is the approach I would use if my EGR valve needs replacement again. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Ford-Explo...ict105117.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Im not sure where it is under my hood but this is the most similar part compared to most others. So, is this my EGR Valve? http://www.photohost.org/gallery/dat...92egrfront.jpg http://www.photohost.org/gallery/dat...92egrright.jpg http://www.photohost.org/gallery/data/500/92egrleft.jpg |

No it is not, that part is a vaccum operated water valve for the
heater. On 14 Mar 2005 19:34:56 -0500, phoeneous > wrote: > >So, is this my EGR Valve? > >http://www.photohost.org/gallery/dat...92egrfront.jpg > >http://www.photohost.org/gallery/dat...92egrright.jpg > >http://www.photohost.org/gallery/data/500/92egrleft.jpg |
