Ford F55Y-9D475-A Valve - Exhaust Gas

The EGR system reduces NOx emissions by recirculating exhaust gases into the intake manifold, lowering combustion temperature. To replace the EGR valve, disconnect the battery cable, remove the air cleaner outlet tube, vacuum hose, and exhaust manifold tube. Unbolt the valve, replace the gasket, and clean the manifold surfaces before reinstalling. For EGR tube replacement, remove the valve, disconnect fittings, remove and reinstall the tube. To replace the EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid or Differential Pressure Feedback Sensor, disconnect the battery, detach retainers, disconnect connections, remove bolts, and reinstall in reverse. Note: 2002 and later 3.0L engines do not have EGR valves.

For EGR pipe replacement, disconnect the vacuum lines from the DPFE sensor and the pipe at the manifold and valve.

Trouble codes can indicate issues with the EGR system. For example, too much EGR flow can cause rough running or engine stalling, while too little or no EGR flow can lead to high combustion temperatures and issues like spark knock or emission test failure.

To replace the EGR tube, you need to follow these steps:1. Remove the EGR valve.2. Disconnect the tube fittings.3. Installation is the reverse of removal.

The EGR valve is controlled by an EVR (EGR Vacuum Regulator) and the PCM. Its operation can be tested using a vacuum pump. The EGR control system relies on sensors like the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature), TPS (Throttle Position Sensor), MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor), and TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) to determine the correct ON time for the EGR.

Key components include the EGR valve, EGR vacuum regulator (EVR), and the PCM. The EGR valve's functionality can be verified through vacuum tests, diaphragm movement checks, and cleaning of ports.
