Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Orifice Tube Assembly
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2019 Lincoln Navigator, 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, 2019 Lincoln MKZ, 2019 Lincoln MKT, and 2019 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EGR orifice tube assembly is a section of tubing between the exhaust manifold and the EGR valve. The assembly provides the flow path for the EGR to the intake manifold and also contains the metering orifice and 2 pressure pick up tubes. The internal metering orifice creates a measurable pressure drop as the EGR valve opens and closes. This pressure differential across the orifice is picked up by the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor which provides feedback to the PCM.
