What replaced egr valve on 2001 Dodge Dakota?

There's no single replacement for an EGR valve on a 2001 Dodge Dakota. The EGR valve itself is replaced with a *new EGR valve*. However, depending on the issue, other components *related* to the EGR system might also need attention. These could include:

* EGR Valve Position Sensor: This sensor monitors the valve's position and can fail, leading to incorrect EGR operation.

* EGR Temperature Sensor: Monitors the temperature of the exhaust gas entering the EGR system. A faulty sensor can cause problems with the engine's computer controlling the EGR flow.

* DPFE Sensor (Differential Pressure Feedback Sensor): This sensor measures the pressure difference across the EGR valve, helping the computer regulate the flow.

* Vacuum Lines: The EGR valve is often controlled by vacuum; damaged or leaky lines can prevent it from working correctly.

* EGR Cooler (if equipped): Some engines have an EGR cooler to reduce the temperature of the exhaust gas before it enters the intake manifold. This can become clogged or fail.

So, while a *new EGR valve* is the direct replacement, a proper diagnosis is essential to determine if any other parts in the EGR system require replacement or repair to fully resolve the issue. Just replacing the valve itself without addressing underlying problems may not solve the root cause.
