How to remove egr valve, V8, 96 Explorer XLT

 

[fermin]

why do you want to remove the egr?

 

[Juarexplorer]

Because engine light is ON, I went to diagnose and scanner show EGR problems like a exicive exaust gas.

Its not egr valve, it is dpfe sensor.

[fermin]

go to Google and click on Pictures and search for dpfe sensor

there you will see a lot of pictures of what the sensor looks like, then look for something similar under the hood

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the stock 95-01 section. The technician corner section on this site has a thread on the DPFE sensor.

I'm not sure exactly where it is on the 96, but it should be around the back of the intake manifold on the passenger side, it will have 2 little silicone hoses running into it, and a couple of wires for the sensor. It's pretty buried so it might take a bit of looking to find it.

There is no DPFE sensor on the 96 V8. It is a closed system. Only an EGR valve, EGR solenoid, and EGR position sensor.
