Where in the engine compartment is EGR valve located On a 1999 E-150?

The EGR valve location on a 1999 Ford E-150 van varies slightly depending on the engine (4.2L V6, 4.6L V8, or 5.4L V8). However, it's generally found on the intake manifold, near the back of the engine.

To be certain, you should:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for the exact location on your specific van.

2. Use a repair manual or online diagrams: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your year and model will have diagrams showing the EGR valve's location. Websites like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts often have diagrams you can access for free after entering your vehicle's information.

3. Look for a vacuum line connected to it: The EGR valve has a vacuum line connected to it, which can help identify it.

The EGR valve itself is typically a small, rectangular or cylindrical component with a vacuum actuator on it. Be cautious when working in the engine compartment, as it gets hot and there are many moving parts.
