Hello guys I have a stumper here. I have a 1997 Ford F150 with a 4.6 V8 it has been having EGR problems I forget what the code is exactly but it's something like insufficient EGR recirculation or something like that but anyway I have clean the upper air intake clean the EGR replace the tube going down to the header and replaced the sensor and I still get this damn code. now what I notice it seems the code peers only when the truck is idling and slow traffic any thoughts of what this could be. I'm guessing it's probably something else that's coming up as this code any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

I had a '96 Mustang GT with the 4.6L that had a similar issue. I had to replace the EGR solenoid that actually controls the vacuum that opens the valve. In the Mustang it was easy to get to, but I not sure on the trucks.

 

What did you do to fix it??? I took a look online they're pretty much the same I have one line going to EGR and then the other line loops around the engine and then goes into the passenger side fender.

 

Yep that fixed it. Here's a link to the part: http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....nid=437&jpid=0

Rock Auto sells it for $28.

 

Funny I recently had this problem with my Ford Ranger, a new EGR solenoid fixed it.
