My '88 has an EGR valve.therieldeal said:there is a chance your 93 does not have an EGR valve... either 93 or 94 was the first year that they were installed, i cant remember which though. i know my 94 had one and my friends 92 did not.

My '88 is 49 state emmisions.Dutch said:My '92 does not have EGR or even a place to put it.
'94 was when it became universal on Escorts. Apparently, before that it was for CA cars only.
C ya,

Is all of this the same on a 98 escort LX?In the diagram drawn does the 98 have a DPFE sensor as well?tommyliuca said:97 escort lx sport. recently got engine light on and read code P0401 :Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected.
mostly problem come from EGR valve clog, so before you decide replace a new Egr valve or go to auto shop. try to clean EGR valve by yourself, all you need just carb cleaner( around $6) and tools. I am not mechanic and it's my first use tools to remove auto parts. with Jlongoria9 help I did. so happy, share my picture and experience here. Hope can help somebody.
1, remove negative baterry . locate EGR valve , see picture below , it connect with intake manifold.
2. Egr valve connect with a EGR tube and the tube conncet to exhaust manifold, on tube there are two hoses connect to a device mount on firewall .
3. we need take out EGR valve and clean it, so you need unfasten two bolts which secure EGR valve to intake manifold and two bolts which secure EGR tube to exhaust manifold. before you use tool to losent any bolt, disconnect two hoses first. use marker make sure you will remember how to connect if necessary or use my last picture as reference.
4. move air intake side make more room if necessary.
5. use 10 mm socket , ratchet and extent bar remove two bolts from EGR tube.
6. now remove two EGR valve bolts.
7. carefully take out EGR valve with EGR tube. then you can clean it and unfasten tube nut dispart EGR valve and EGR tube.
spray carb cleaner into EGR valve and check and clean tube
very importent thing is check intake manifold conncet with EGR valve hole make sure there is clean , some carb also deposit there. my EGR valve and EGR tube is ok but intake manifold got a lot of carb and clog flow.
after clean , my car get stable idle and engine light not come back so far.
The photos in this posting show as broken links on 1/12/15. Below are some replacements of what they look like.gen 3 intake port with EGR valve removed
befor app 5/16 inch hole
and after photo with a 5/8 inch hole

well.. this post was created 13 years ago.. back then photobucket was a reliable hosting platform.. now, they have turned to a highly profit-driven business model.. they fuzz out the images in an attempt to get the 'hoster' to pay for a subscription.Hi, why can't I see the images? Thanks in advance
