Re: EGR Valve location on 2.8l
Mine is a 3.1 and has a different EGR valve, but the location is the same. Pictured below, there is a gold colored accordion tube behind the alternator, follow that from the throttle body to the other end, your EGR is there at the end.

Re: EGR Valve location on 2.8l
here you go, it's the black thing just behind alternator. I know the other guys did a good job of describing it, but here's a pic anyway
Why are you changing it? If it's for a code 32 from your ECM, most of the time those are caused by vacuum leaks, not a faulty valve itself. I was throwing a code 32, and it turned out my EGR solenoid had a crack in it

Re: EGR Valve location on 2.8l
Im tesing the value to see if it faulty or not, it kinda pisses me off when im cruising down the highway and the service light comes on, it takes about 20mins of driving till it appears

Re: EGR Valve location on 2.8l
if its a leak i probably wont fix it to be honest haha dont have the funds or the time just want to drive the damn thing, it might be a leak though i sometimes smell exhaust inside the car but i think it was because the cars vents where open, btw i really like the colour combo on your car!

Re: EGR Valve location on 2.8l
thanks!
by leak I meant a break in one of the small vacuum hoese under the hood. easy to patch with a small rubber line
finding it is difficult

Re: EGR Valve location on 2.8l
no, I haven't. Wiper transmission might be out, or the wipers could be mounted loosely, causing them the spin on the base instead of move

Re: EGR Valve location on 2.8l
thats what im planning on doing in a few minutes is go out to my car with my iPod and record the noise when i start the car i dont think ill be able to move the car considering the position its in the driveway and the truck is to close to it and i dont feel like asking my dad to move it but ill see what i can do in terms of that.its just the strangest noise it never used to be there it sounds like maybe a whining fan of some type but that doesnt make sense because i never have a fan running during startup

Re: EGR Valve location on 2.8l
Hi.
New to this. I have a 2.8 with a vacuum line I cant find where it plugs into . It comes from the Vac reg vale and is showed in your photo running in back of the plenum.
If you have a photo would be great.
