The EGR valve is in a very difficult spot to work on. If the EGR is bad it will set off the check engine light and make the vehicle run rough or stall at idle. It really doesn't make it run rough while driving or accelerating. What are the conditions when the car runs rough?

The EGR valve is the round disk looking piece with a vacuum line coming out of the top. It is located to the right of the carburetor. It is approximately 3 inches wide. If you are experiencing a trouble code P0401, you have insufficient flow through the valve. In expeditions, It is usually a blockage at the intake. I am including a link to a video that I think will help you out. How to Fix Ford F150 with P0401 EGR Insufficient Flow Code Part 1

SOURCE: location of air conditioner low pressure valve

The low pressure valve on the 01 expedition is located on the accumulator on the passenger side fire wall. The accumulator is underneath the battery relay and a grouping of wires. Had to squeeze hand underneath a heater hose and an a/c line to remove cap and hook up hose. Nothing has to be removed to locate the valve just a little touchy feely. Valve faces a 45 forward toward the engine.

SOURCE: 1999 FORD EXPEDITION 2WD 4.6L EGR VALVE,EGR

Remove the throttle body housing on the top of the intake, it is a 90 degree tunnel like small piece held by 4 small bolts, turn it over and look for two holes, these holes are for the EGR valve flow, they are probably plugged up with carboned crud, clean them out with the tip of a screwdriver if neccessary to remove all the crud, once its clean reinstall it and reset your check engine light, hope this helps, let me know

SOURCE: 97 Ford expedition blinking check engine light,

A flashing CEL means that you might be causing damage to your CATs. It will flash when the PCM senses a misfire bad enough to cause fuel to dump into the exhaust. When that happens lay off the throttle. Chances are you've got a bad injector or bad plug.

Use a code reader to know the real reason that check engine light come on.

I have a tropubleshooting code of P1405. On a ford Expedition 5.4l. Where do i fine the DPFE sensor (DPFE sensor upstream hose off or plugged.. aaECM detected EGR flow in a negative direction with aan

DPFE sensor failures are VERY COMMON on Ford vehicles. However, clogged EGR ports are also very common on 5.4L Ford engines. The DPFE sensor is located on the left side of the engine. It connects to two silicone rubber hoses that connect to the steel EGR tube coming from the back of the engine to the EGR valve. (See picture of the sensor below)

Another common failure is a DPFE sensor that has melted due to excessive exhaust back-pressure. If you find the DPFE sensor melted, suspect a restricted exhaust. (smashed tailpipe, clogged catalytic converter, etc..)

In my 1999 ford expedition 5.4 l engine i replaced the egr valve but thw check engine light came back after 4 days what could be causing this

Check code free at auto zone, If it is still telling you the EGR is the problem and you replaced it with a new unit not a used unit check your vacume lines for leeks.

99 expedition running lean and dying when at idle

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Look for obvious vacuum hoses broken,squished or off. Check at egr valve, dpfe sensor & solenoid. These are all common to go bad. If not obvious take carb cleaner with snorkel attached, spray intake manifold & hoses etc. If idle raises while spraying you located vacuum leak. The propelent in the can temporarily seals leak while its being sprayed. Be careful not to spray on wires or anywhere there is a spark.

Cold air blowing out of vents when the heat is on but the rear heat works fine 99 ford expedition

Could be the diverter valve. It's the one located near the firewall in the engine bay. the valve is in-line on one of the two coolant hoses that run through the firewall. Have a helper rotate the temperature knob back and forth, with the ignition turned on, and you watch to see if the valve is being adjusted. I'm guessing it isn't. Best of luck!

01 Ford Expedition. Check Engine light and failed Smog check.

whoever installed the egr valve, if it wasnt you, just cleared the engine codes, thus giving you this problem once again. Get it scanned at autozone, and go from there.

the egr valve for your expedition is about $ 60 to 70 dollars. it wil get better fuel mileage and run better also . it regulates the exaust back into the intake for optimum combustion.
