  • Hello,
    This video shows how to diagnose and replace your EGR system components. This guide will help if you have OBD 1 codes 326-337 and OBD 2 codes p0400-p0402 egr system faults. The truck shown in this video is a 1990 Ford Bronco with the 5.8L engine. A failing or clogged EGR system can cause poor MPG, failing emissions, and engine stalling.

    excellent walkthrough. One note from my manual “With the engine at idle and at operating temperature, remove the ported vacuum hose and check for vacuum. No vacuum should be indicated. If it is, check the vacuum hose routing, verify the hose is connected to carburetor (ported) vacuum, not manifold vacuum. Make repairs as required and retest.”

      There really are many incompetent mechanics out there. And as the customer you end up paying for crap work. I do everything myself that I can do. I may be slow but I know the work will be first class and correct. Over the last 50 years I have gradually built up a collection of tools so I can do most of the work. Even if you have to spend $100 for a tool to do something you are still money ahead.

    Great video. The EGR valve (I call it the POS EGR valve) has been a problem area on my 92 F150. Since replacing it, when I'm running the AC it stalls when I stop at a light sometimes. I think the valve isn't closing quickly enough. I've learned to circumvent the issue by not stepping on the clutch (it's a 5 speed manual) until I'm almost at a stop.

    • @TheFixTech
      @TheFixTech  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Check for vacuum leaks and all vacuum check valves, there is a small plastic vacuum line that routes towards the passenger side above the blower motor (fresh air selector) that line usually kinks and breaks.

    when you start the engine in the video (1:48 timecode) there is a noticeable rattling in the engine...sounds like marbles rolling around in the intake as best I can

    • @TheFixTech
      @TheFixTech  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, completely remove the belt. Then start the engine, if rattle is gone then it is from the belt drive. Could be the tensioner, power steering pump, air pump, ect.. for me it is the power steering pump. With the belt off you can manually spin the pulleys to locate, be sure the water pump is good.

      You should have a evp sensor on the top of your egr valve with an electric connection. If not then either the egr valve is the wrong one for your truck or someone installed a newer engine as the 96-97 engines had egr with vacuum only.

    I have a 1994 Ford Bronco 5.8 and because of its age I am having difficulty finding a good mechanic in my area. So because I have the time and the tools I figure I would track down my OBD1 code 558 error on my own. It appears to be the EGR system. Quick question, what should the voltage be to the EVR Solenoid? With ignition on but not running, mine is sending 9.84 volts. I am just wondering if it should be higher? If yes, what could be the cause of some voltage but not full voltage? The EGR is getting 4.9 volts so thats seems fine and the ohms on the new components are fine. I will be checking the vacuum readings tomorrow. I cant seem to fix this 558 error even after a reset of the PCM/ECU on my truck. I am thinking now that a vacuum leak may be the culprit. Any advice would be a huge help.

    Hey great stuff man. What do you think about the proper egr delete kits that come with the component to give the computer the signal that the egr is still functioning? Also I noticed that your engine shakes a little at idle.I own a1989 f150 5.0 and it does the same thing.I have had some ppl say its normal and some say its has a slight miss fire?. Thanks.

    • @TheFixTech
      @TheFixTech  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The egr delete kits just do not work correctly for street cars/trucks. These engines were designed with egr in mind down the the ecm air/fuel calibrations. A little engine shake at idle is normal for an older aged engine, it otherwise runs good and passes emissions.

    in the video at the end where you are testing the egr valve operation, would seeing that plunger in a stuck position be enough evidence that the egr valve needs replacing? I have an 87 ford f150 with the 5.0L and it is horrible on fuel. just finished doing the stock tests on the EGR valve, sensor and control valve....all seem to be functioning correctly. when the engine is at temp and I rev the engine I can see the plunger activating in the EGR valve....guess I just had not warmed it up enough.

      You should be receiving 5v to the sensor. You can test the ohms between the terminals. Remove the sensor and make sure the plunger moves freely, test the ohm again while pushing in on the plunger, ohms should change smoothly.

    When i give the truck a small amount of throttle, it will stay anywhere between 1500-2000 rpm, and refuse to drop, it only drops to idle if i goose the throttle a bit. This is with the IAC plugged in, it doesn't do this with it unplugged.
    It makes shifting REALLY obnoxious (manual) and i just dont know whats going on.

      Did you calibrate the tps? Should be between .9-1.0 volts. Also does yours have the iac plate adjuster? It was installed by ford on older models for anti sludge throttle bodies. Those also can be adjusted, I prefer to remove them altogether and carefully clean the throttle body for proper airflow.

      Did it run fine before the complete ac change? Remove the drive belt and test the ac compressor pully, it should spin freely without ac on. When driving do you hear the fan blowing hard? If so the fan clutch is defective as it should release fan at higher rpm’s. Any check engine light?, if not you can still pull codes as computer does store codes. Be sure to pull codes after engine is fully warm, then shut down engine and pull codes. Also check the rear drum brakes, they can lock up in position and drag….

      Have you verified proper operation of the egr valve? Idle the engine until warm, give the engine some throttle (approx 2-3k rpm) and you should physically see the egr valve move up/down with throttle. Also check for vacuum leaks, engine vacuum should be between 14-20 inches. Another cause of engine shutdown can be fuel/ecm related. Check fuel pressure and replace the fuel pump and ecm relays as they do go bad. My truck would shut off at a stop and the fuel pump relay was to blame. Replaced both pump and ecm relays.
