(3) Disconnect electrical connector from EGR
valve.
(4) Remove EGR tube mounting screws at EGR
valve (Fig. 1).
The EGR valve attaches to the rear of the right
cylinder head.
(5) Remove EGR valve mounting screws.
(6) Clean gasket surfaces. Discard old gasket. If
necessary, clean EGR passages.
INSTALLATION - 3.5L
(1) Loosely install EGR valve and new gasket on
cylinder head (Fig. 2).
(2) Using a new gasket, loosely install the EGR
tube and mounting screws.
(3) Tighten EGR valve to cylinder head screws to
31 N·m (275 in. lbs.) torque.
(4) Tighten the EGR tube to EGR valve screws to
11 N·m (95 in. lbs.) torque.
(5) Attach electrical connector to solenoid.
(6) Install air inlet tube and resonator.
(7) Connect negative battery cable.
EGR TUBE - 3.5L
REMOVAL - 3.5L
The EGR tube attaches to the bottom of the intake
manifold plenum beside the throttle body (Fig. 4).
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove air inlet tube and resonator.
(3) Remove EGR tube mounting clips at intake
manifold plenum (Fig. 3).
(4) Loosen transmission to throttle body bracket
(Fig. 4). Remove 2 nuts and 1 bolt and remove
bracket off of studs.
