2008 Ford Mustang EGR Valve Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service the EGR Valve System Module on 2008 Ford Mustang?

  A: Begin service of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system module by disconnecting both its electrical connector followed by engine harness vacuum-to-EGR system module connector. The removal process continues with disconnecting the fitting between the EGR system module and the EGR system module tube. When installing the fitting on both the 4.0L SOHC and 5.4L 4V engines, users must torque it to 39 Nm (29 lb-ft) and 42 Nm (31 lb-ft) respectively. Choosing the correct EGR system module mounting gasket is important because different orifice sizes could affect performance; so remove the two bolts plus the EGR system module before discarding the old gasket while tightening the new one to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). Non-metallic scraping tools and wire brushes along with abrasive materials must never be used to clean sealing surfaces since these create damaging scratch marks that produce leaks. However, plastic scrapers prove effective for cleaning soft metal surfaces. The installation process requires the placement of the new gasket with its raised circle oriented toward the opposite direction of the EGR system module.
