Any chance the egr valve was unplugged with the key on? Also last time I hade those two codes together I was getting an erratic egr position signal, I suppose you could have got a bad part.

 

Thanks for the response.
I was the only one working on the truck so the key was in my pocket until after the replacement.

 

Do you have a scan tool that can command the EGR valve to open to verify it's functioning?

 

Hi,
No I do not have that type of scan tool.
Thanks

 

I would clear the codes and make sure that connector on the new EGR is seated properly

and try again if it does the same thing I would get new gasket/oring kit from ford for the old one and try it if it has no issues I would be talking to Ford

what did you pay for that ? over 200 bucks ?

 

Yes, I paid $251 for the new part. Unfortunately I returned my old egr for the core charge. I had to call them dealer and get my old part back and pay the $30 core. Just drove 150 miles with the new egr without issue until I stopped for a few hours. The CEL came back on. If it comes back after clearing I will return to the dealer.

 

there is a core on an EGR? that does not sound right

 

ok so there is a core for some reason ? but you paid to much also
Sunrise Ford Fontana and free ship
MSRP$241.38
Core ?$30.00
Save $53.10

Yeah they started doing a core charge on them about a year ago. Must be replacing too many and running low on replacement parts.

 

I can't imagine what they reuse? They look all new ?



and they are crimp sealed at the housing ?

 

Thanks for the tip on a new parts supplier. The CEL came on again while i was stuck in traffic. I will be putting the original EGR back in tomorrow morning. The only high point of today's misadventure was seeing the Patriots beat the Bills in person.
I am fully expecting to have to fight with the dealer to get a new EGR, they were already trying to say that they need to run a diagnostics on my truck before they will replace or refund.
Thanks to everyone for the help

 

Today I cleared the P0404 and P0405 codes, put my old EGR valve back in and drove around - no codes. I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow to get a new valve or refund.
