I just changed my EGR valve last week, I hope this helps. On the drivers side of your engine compartment look for a pipe wrapped in a heat shield fabric that runs from your exhaust manifold and goes up to your EGR valve. It will have 2 vacuum lines attached to it. The EGR valve itself bolts to the intake manifold area and is easily identified by looking for a round metal piece about 3" in diameter with holes in it. I hope I didn't confuse you but its kinda hard to describe in words, any other questions feel free to ask.

Derek, what year is your Explorer? I don't think the 92s had EGR.

My X is a 1994, the terrible part about all this is the damn repair manuals don't tell you a thing about the EGR valve or what vehicles even have them.

That makes sense. Ford didn't start putting the EGR on the Explorers until 1993. One less thing for me to replace on mine .

Brad, you said you were trying to trace down a rough idle problem in neutral. Do you have an auto or manual trans? Have you tried cleaning the MAS or IAC? Run a search on those two items and you'll find a ton of info.

Good luck!

peace
