Egr valve hi can any body tell me the location of the EGR valve on 1.6 zetec escort mk6

25 - Emissions Control/Exhaust Gas Recirculation, Gas/VALVE, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), 4.7L/Removal REMOVAL Labor Operations: Click to display a list of Labor Operations associated with this procedure

The electronic EGR valve and solenoid assembly is attached to the rear of the left cylinder head. An exhaust gas routing tube connects the EGR valve to the intake manifold.
1. Use a diagnostic scan tool to record any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). 2. Remove the throttle body resonator. 3. Perform the fuel system pressure release procedure (Refer to 14 - Fuel System/Fuel Delivery - Standard Procedure) 4. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.


5. Disconnect the power brake booster vacuum hose (1) and the vapor canister purge hose (2) at the intake manifold.


6. Disconnect the EGR valve solenoid electrical connector (1).


7. Remove the EGR valve assembly retaining bolts (1). 8. Remove the EGR valve and the EGR routing tube from the engine as an assembly. 9. Remove and discard the metal gasket located between the cylinder head and the EGR valve assembly.


10. Remove the EGR valve routing tube retaining bolts (1) at the EGR valve assembly 11. Remove the EGR valve routing tube and discard the gasket.

the egr valve is located on the drivers side next to the fuel rail. here is a picture of the valve

Your EGR valve is located on the throttle body. Sorry but I don't have a picture of the location in my data base. However, it looks like the following:

If you received a code warning, you might want to consider the following:

The last time this problem occurred I cleaned the throttle body and it was completly clogged in the farthest port from the EGR and almost closed at the closest port to EGR.

All the best

Measure the nut

15/16" 1" 1 1/16" or 1 1/8"

Not sure if they are a standard or common size
on most EGR Valves

Not Metric

OK, if you replaced the EGR hose, did you go all the way to change the EGR Valve? A stuck open EGR Valve can cause a rough idle and almost make it cut off.
Also, a vacuum leak on the EGR valve can cause a rough idle.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Removal & Installation 2.0L Zetec Engine NOTE: When the EGR tube is disconnected from the EGR valve, it must be discarded and a new EGR tube must be installed. The aluminum threads on the EGR valve must be inspected, and a new EGR valve installed if the threads are damaged.
To Remove:

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove and discard the exhaust manifold-to-EGR tube. Use the following as a guide:
3. Raise and safely support the vehicle
4. Remove the splash shield
5. Disconnect the EGR tube fitting
6. Lower the vehicle
7. Remove the air cleaner outlet pipe
8. Disconnect the EGR tube from the EGR valve.
9. Detach the vacuum line and remove the two retainer bolts.

NOTE: The EGR valve sealing surfaces are soft metals and easily damaged.
To Install:

1. Installation is a reverse of the removal process. Carefully clean all sealing surfaces and install a new EGR valve gasket.
2. Install a new EGR valve tube.

Detach the vacuum line (#1) and unbolt the EGR valve - 2.0L

3.0L (4v) Engine To Remove:

1. Disconnect the vacuum line.
2. Disconnect the EGR tube.
3. Remove the EGR valve and discard the gasket.

NOTE: The EGR valve sealing surfaces are soft metals and easily damaged.
To Install:

1. Installation is a reverse of the removal process. Carefully clean all sealing surfaces and install a new EGR valve gasket.

Detach the vacuum line (#1), unthread the EGR tube (#2) and remove the EGR valve bolts (#3) - 3.0L (4V)

For 1997 Ford Escort 2.0L MFI SOHC SPI 4cyl the EGR Valve is located under hood, center, upper engine area, mounted on top rear of engine block.

Hope helps (remember rated this).

2002 Mazda Protege5 with the FS2.0 Motor. The EGR Valve is located below the throttle-body. You must take off the Intake tube to get a good view of it. To replace it I think you might have to take off the throttle-body.

Good luck (remember rated this).

The electronic EGR valve and solenoid assembly (3) is attached to the front of the right cylinder head (1). An exhaust gas routing tube connects the EGR valve to the intake manifold.



Disconnect electrical connector (1) from EGR solenoid (2). Remove two bolts (3) connecting EGR tube (4) to valve assembly. Remove gasket located between EGR tube flange and EGR valve assembly.

Remove two mounting bolts (2). Separate valve assembly (3) from cylinder head (1). Remove and discard metal gasket located between cylinder head and valve assembly.
The new EGR valve will come with a new metal gasket. You can reuse the smaller gasket for the metal pipe going to the egr valve as long as its not damaged.

TY for using Fixya; remember rated this post.

If you don't know where the EGR Valve is located, it is safe to assume that you did not properly diagnose your EGR system...how do you know the valve needs replacing?

If you are trying to fix a trouble code P0401 " Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Insufficient Flow" (This is a very common code with 3.1L GM Engines)
An EGR Valve replacement will most likely make you about $125 poorer than you were before and will not fix the problem.

Your EGR port into the intake manifold is most likely clogged up and needs to be cleaned out.

You will need a Throttle Body Gasket, an EGR Gasket, a can of ThrottleBody and Intake Cleaner, and a little antifreeze. (You will lose just a little when you remove the throttle body.)


Remove the EGR Valve and the Throttle Body. Use a screw driver or pick to chip out the carbon buildup in the EGR port going into the intake manifold. You will probably have to work it from the intake side as well as the EGR side to get as much of the black carbon out as possible. Be careful not to let this stuff go down into the intake plenum - you will burn some valves if it gets in there. Then use the Throttle Body and Intake cleaner to finish the cleanup. (It helps to take a rag and stuff it into the intake manifold just past the EGR port to catch the gunk so it doesn't go down into the plenum...just don't forget to remove the rag before putting the Throttle Body back on)

Put everything back together and top-off your antifreeze and clear your computer codes. That should fix it.

The electronic EGR valve and solenoid assembly is attached to the rear of the left cylinder head ,

1. Remove electrical connector (5) at top of EGR valve solenoid.
2. Remove tube mounting bolt (1) at intake manifold.
