Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Tube - Removal

3.5L






WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust gas recirculate (EGR) valve and tube is very high. Therefore, never work around or attempt to service any engine component until it is completely cooled.

1. Remove two upper tube mounting bolts.
2. When removing EGR tube assembly be careful not to drop the silicone rubber seals into the intake manifold. Clean gasket surfaces on the EGR valve. Note that any loose dirt can lodge between the pintle and the seat and cause valve leakage that will give a rough idle and depressed manifold vacuum.





3. Remove two lower tube mounting bolts.
4. Remove tube assembly from vehicle.
