Hello,
RE: Check Engine light, Advance Auto says replace the EGR... Suggestions? 2002 4.0L V6 Ranger:
The yellow "Check Engine" light has stayed on for a couple tanks of gas, so I went to AdvanceAuto Parts Store for a quick analysis. They said the "EGR" module was returning an error. The tech then gave an opinion, and said most likely the valve was stuck.
He said it was a simple problem, the most severe cure required changeing the module, a small simple looking saucer on top of the engine. It's bolted on the bottom, with a tube coming out the top.
I don't want to open the part if this is over kill. I can still return it un-opened for another 2 weeks, 100% refund.
What else can I do to get the EGR working correctly, before replacing the entire part.
I have already run two bottles of Prestone engine cleaner through the fuel. No workee.
If I do need to replace the entire EGR module, is it as easy as it looks? It's just held onto the side/top of the engine with two bolts, and a rubber hose on top.
Thanks
