Engine Emission Control: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not remove any part of the engine emission control system. Operating the engine without the engine emission control system will reduce fuel economy and engine ventilation. This will weaken engine performance and shorten engine life.
Some engines are equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. The function of the EGR system is to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxide (NOx).
The engine emission control consists of the following components:
- EGR valve
- vacuum regulator solenoid
- EGR tube
- emission control vacuum harness
- EGR cooler (6.0L diesel)
- differential pressure feedback EGR sensor
