I'm not sure if there is a full picture write-up but if not then enjoy ^^
KK to start off you will need to un-plug your EGR hoses from top of the EGR valve itself like so...
once you have un-pluged this hose your can see the rusted on 1 1/16 inch bolt I do suggest soaking alot with penetration oil of some kind before attempting to undo it.
You will undo the rusted bolt / hose first then remove the 2 10mm bolts that actually hold the EGR valve to its block plate.
Now once you have removed this you should see alot of build-up inside of the EGR valve itself. To clean I used an actual EGR cleaning solution here at my dealership, but soapy water solution and a wire brush works good to. Letting this soak for a bit helps alot. Now I have found that simply using a wire brush cannot remove all of the carbon deposits so I used a tiny pick and actually scratched the walls clean.
And of coarse to install just reverse the removal process and in no time you will have your freshly clean EGR valve installed and back up running again. ^^ GL and I hope this helps somewhat. If anyone has questions I will try to help with what I can.
The EGR bring exhaust gasses back into the upper intake to be reburned. I believe it helps keep cylinder temps down a bit as well. Advantages of deleting it are pretty much just easier to change spark plugs, easier to install a supercharger/turbo, cleaner looking engine bay, and I believe the delete it required to install a Windstar upper intake.
I bought the EGR delete from ford dealership for $12.50 came with a gasket and block off plate and a cap for the passenger side exhaust manifold/header. Took literally five minutes to remove. I also went with a colder thermostat to combat any possible increase in core temp. I have heard from several people who deleted theirs that they saw no noticeable increase in core temps.
well i did clean it with carb cleaner.. once i put it back on the engine code p0401 came up, which is the "egr insufficient". so idk what the problem is now.. i think i messed it up.

Check your EGR Sensor, I can almost 100% guarantee you that that's the problem. I'd just get a new one, replace it and clear your code. Then drive it around for about 40-50 miles to see if it kicks back on or not. If it doesn't then you're golden like a shower.

I used this on my EGR without even taking it off. It's sold for manifolds but my EGR valve looks brand new. Stuff works, I am here to say and after 3 months it still looks damn good.
thats awesome man haha i live in tucson and we haven't had it that bad. but yeah my sister had called me and told me that she had to park in a parking lot when she was driving home because she couldn't see 5 ft in front of her.
Hi all! I just completely flushed the power steering fluid from a 2000 3.8 mustang and replaced the pump. I used Valvoline Max Life Full Synthetics ATF Dex/Merc, Mercon LV. After replacing the pump I turned the wheel left to right for about 30 minutes to help work out air pockets.
However, it...
Hey everyone! I’ve had my 2014 v6 for a bit over a year now and love it. I’ve started doing some basic mods, cold air intake and just had a muffler delete done. As expected, I have some drone between about 1500 and 3000 rpms. My question is how to fix this. I’m considering glass packs, or pypes...
Ok, Light went on, the shop did a free test, "code P050 stored in memory. Cold start exhaust out of range."
They reset it and the next day it went back on. So next week I'm gonna see if they can fix it.
My car is due now for a smog test (when I do this I return my SCT tune to "back to stock")...
