Cleaning The EGR Valve

Does the EGR valve have to be cleaned or replaced by the dealer or can I do it myself? Anyone have directions on doing so?? Thanks, Stucky

Re: Cleaning The EGR Valve

To the guys who clean theirs, do they look like the one in the picture? How often do you clean them? Do you also clean the inside of the manifold?
Thanks

Re: Cleaning The EGR Valve

No, they all dont look like that. Just depends on your cleaning interval. You can either remove the intake manifold and flush it out with some cleaner or take a fine to medium wire cylinder brush and brush it out. Then while the egr is out you can start the engine and run it wide open throttle for roughly 10 second to blow the carbon/soot out of the intake/egr ports. This sound funny but it is how one of the techs on here explained it. If I can find the post I will link it.

Re: Cleaning The EGR Valve

I cleaned mine this last weekend @ 20,000 miles and it looked ecactly like the picture. By definition, however, I have subjected it to harsh driving. Lots of short trips, stop and go, and extended idling. The gasket kit was around $7 and with the recommended parts cleaners, it came in around $20 and took about 2 1/2 hours to remove, clean, and reassemble. Pretty cheap insurance for something that will leave you sitting on the side of the road.

Re: Cleaning The EGR Valve

I have about 18,000 miles on my 06 and am thinking about cleaning mine but I have heard that after the egr is cleaned and reinstalled that it must be checked with the ford scan tool to make sure the pcm knows that it is in the correct position. Any problems encountered after a DIY clean and reinstall?

That thing looks like it belongs in a trash can.

EGR Valve

I have an 05 F350 King Ranch, drove it home from California and it ran fine. We took it in to have the oil changed and filters updated and now it stutters often. Has anyone had this happen and then corrected it. I hate to have to pay a shop to do something I may be able to do.
