Your technique of 'break it off to get a socket on it' worked great! I was having no luck with a big wrench but after snapping off the pipe and using a socket and breaker bar I got it free. Thanks!
Hello...How has your explorer been running after you got rid of its EGR system? I read some forums saying that the engine will run too hot without egr and get failed very soon. Is that true?
@@aux1z11 Thank you for your response. So there is not much harm to the engine but just too hot to the cat? What is the downside of the cat gets too hot?
@Garrett Rains I believe he took the smaller of the 2 lines from the DPFE and put it in the bottom connection of the EGR vaccum solenoid, and left the larger line from the DPFE sensor open.
@@garrettrains7934 the bottom connection on the EGR vaccum solenoid is what provides engine vaccum to the solenoid, and the top connection is what provides vaccum to the EGR valve itself. I haven't tried the delete yet, but I'm considering it...I keep getting the P0401 code, even though I have replaced everything in the EGR system.
@@samuelellis7459 lol thats funny becuase i have a 5.4 97 f 150 and it does the same thing and i did plugs lol if i turn od off it stops shaking but probably because its not about to stall out so i figure it might be a brake booster seal causing vacuum or maybe one of these vacuum lines
Why would you do this? The EGR is not in the loop at idle or high RPM's (racing) it comes into play at cruising speed (in town speeds) and by deleting the EGR you will not pass emissions and your vehicle fill fail state inspections! Just not worth it.
@@CoberRuger Yes it does. It is Exhaust gas recirculation Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is an emission control technology allowing significant NOx emission reductions from most types of diesel engines: from light-duty engines through medium- and heavy-duty engine applications right up to low-speed, two-stroke marine engines
