Ford EGR testing you didn't know

I know this video doesn't have a lot of views but thank you so much for posting it, you saved me hours I'm sure. I'm ever so grateful!!!

Very good explanation of this valve. Thanks for taking the time to do the video.

Thank you, this was a very well explained video. Liked the diagram and much appreciated.

Amazing video boss!! By now you should have been one of the influencers so I hope this message gives you some motivation because your video has a great distribution of ingredients (Timely, Informational, Resourceful, Helpful, Historical, etc)

60s EGR valve??,maybe mid 70s.

Very Good Video 👍Thank you 👍

Thank you

This makes me think that some ford techs are unaware of such specifics concerning this control valve. Knowing could save a client some money.

Hey!!!! A question I wanted to know forever but never had luck with finding! Ty

Thanks for posting this video. I have been trying to diagnose a rough idle on my 1996 Ford Mustang GT. I narrowed down the issue to the EGR vacuum solenoid.

Where exactly is this located? I have a 1994 Ranger 2.3

35-38 ohms resistance through the coil. 2nd, the valve is actually adjustable, it's a very fine adjustment, take the cap off and the steel tube can be rotated to adjust its contact with the disc. It is normal to have a very small vacuum to the EGR at all times, when the solenoid is activated that atmospheric pressure is stopped completely, allowing full vacuum to be applied to the EGR.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this very good illustrated video.

Thanks for the info!!

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. I have a 2002 Ford Explorer 4.0 v6 with 216k and replaced the Egr valve because it did not hold vacuum. But, it did not fix the problem of rough idle and smoke coming from the down pipe union. I did a voltage and ohms test on my PTFE sensor and found that it too was faulty. The explorer still stalls after running initially. Idle has to be held until the truck is moving. Once moving the engine holds idle, but, still has smoke coming from the down pipe union. I am going to test the egr vacuum solenoid and test for power at the connection.

Awesome information thank you 🙏

EGR valve for 2011 ranger 2.3 at behind valve head & firewall. That suck difficult roomy to remove.

Where does the 2 hoses at the bottom run too?

04 mustang gt I only had one hose is there suppose to be 2 hoses and were do they run too?

How do I check for a coil burned open?

this cleared up a lot of questions i had

This seems to be the same for my 89 ford probe gt. I can blow air but when I supply power I cant blow air though meaning it’s still good correct?

Another thing that can throw you through a loop is even when energized valve does not necessarily create a perfect seal. These have no rubber/silicone membrane, just a metal disk against plastic. Some leakage is normal.
They're nearly inaudible in operation, drawing ~350mA. Roughly 1/3 that of typical purge valve. I'll admit, this valve's design had me chasing an issue that didn't even exist.

🫡 ty sir

I nearly bought a new one, as it allowed air to flow while disconnected, thanks for this, saved time and money
