Greetings!! In this video I show y'all how to replace and clean the EGR Valve on your 3.3L or 3.8L Dodge, Chrysler, or Plymouth Minivan. This could also work for pretty much any and all 3.3/3.8L Applications as well. There is a known issue where these EGR Valves go bad and most of the time they'll need to be replaced, although sometimes you can clean them out to preserve them. This should be done every couple years or so anyway as preventative maintenance, because the EGR Valve can get gunked up over the years.

$300 work at the local mechanic shop. that's including the EGR valve and new bolts and caskets. I got the part from online $59.00 + 20min of work and I was up and running ...thanks to this video there are still some people who just love to work on motors and show the people how to do it . Thank you very much. I felt good getting my hands a bit dirty and using some nice craftsman tools out of my Dad's tool box. Nice feeling
Great video. I have done this job 3 times in the last 50,000 miles. The original went at 45,000, replaced with a BWD aftermarket that lasted 2 years ($85), replaced that with a Dorman ($75) which lasted only a month! Finally went back to Mopar ($110), good so far 6 months. Don't waste money on aftermarket, they don't hold up (at least in my experience).
Always can count on BWD... Broken When Delivered.
8 years on, still going strong.
(knock on wood)
Hey quit knocking on my last name 😁😂😂😂😂
Just turned 84k mile on my 09 T&C 3.8L & replaced this part four time. The 09 has the EGR Value back by th fire wall. I put an old under shirt as a drop cloth below the EGR Valve this time to catch any bolts, gaskets or sockets that might fall. I have dropped all three, and the first thing that you say is oh ****, how an i gong to reach that .
What happened to make it go through 4 EGR valves? Normally it shouldn't do that unless you got the aftermarket ones...
And good tip on putting a catch rag under the valve! Indeed, when a bolt or something gets lost it is all like F***!!!
@@adventureoflinkmk2 What Egr valves do you recomend ? sorry to hijack thread. I am looking at a 2010 And I suspect it has this issue, I am going to replace EGR and TIPM module from day 1 of ownership and I would spend the extra on better parts for sure since this can kill your engine while driving.
@@jenniferivison4800 you're fine for derailing... as for the brand, you have a 5th gen minivan, so they moved the EGR valve to near the firewall. I would use OEM Mopar
@@adventureoflinkmk2 I appreciate being in mechanical trades ( plumber , gasfitter, ) but as always the best tool is information, and that only comes from experience, Thanks for sharing yours.
@@jenniferivison4800 you're welcome.. thank you for asking in a civil manner
This was a success for me today...quick and easy too... just removed the egr valve just as the video states... sprayed in the carb cleaner...let it sit for a few minutes... put the egr valve back on... disconnected the negative terminal on the battery for a few minutes... reconnected the negative terminal...fired up the van ..no check engine light...wife took it to get an echeck...passed ..success...
Giggity. Glad to hear it!!
Will take a few drive cycles to throw the code again. Disconnecting the battery always removes the codes but doesn’t necessarily fix the problem.
FYI: This is going to be there will be a Cannister Purge Valve on many Dodge Chrysler vehicles, works similarly to the EGR. It may be behind your air box. The cannister purge valve may be plastic.
thanks, one of the BETTER vids out there ! direct, to the point, in real time and added notations as well. my '06 has only 51k and well worth fixing, i dont even want to THINK about getting a new car !
I hear ya on that one! Thanks for watching
Guys, I did this replacement today myself, and this is what I did to make it easier:
1- I took the EGR pipe off.
2- I loosened the upper bolt of the EGR
3- I started to wiggle the EGR(Push forth and back) to make it easy to loosen the lower difficult bolt
4- I bushed the EGR all the way up to have some room to get to the lower bolt
5- I feathered the top of the alternator with a drill so that the I can easily get to the lower bolt and then It would not get stuck on its way out.
I hope this info. is useful.
Even though this video was made 6 years ago I still have reason to believe the headliner has been replaced in this van because that is the best condition headliner I have ever seen in a Town & Country that generation. For some reason they made the crappiest headliners.
I have an 02 with a 3.3 l and for some reason a new fuel pump, new fuel filter, new plug wires three times, new plugs, new coil pack, it tries to stall out intermittently with the brake light and ABS light intermittently going on and off and likes to cut out at take off and for some reason the ABS light conveniently will illuminate at the same time this is occurring. Replaced brake pads and ABS light and brake light at the same time went away for the last month and now it is happening again. I wonder if there is a issue with the booster causing an intermittent vacuum leak. Probably going to try to clean EGR valve this one looks a little different. The one you had in the video looked similar to a Ford as the 3.8 liter in might be slightly different
Yes, checking for vaccum leaks is a good idea.. remember it could be anywhere a vaccum is pulled; brake booster, hoses, intake manifold gasket, etc
Also, on replacing the EGR, I cleaned out the tubing as well. It was caked rather well with soot.
i was going to say the same
Just a reminder you should always disconnect your negative cable when having to disconnect any electrical component but thankyou... I need to do the same to mine...happy New year🎉🎉🎉
Yes. That would be good
And thanks
I have the P0404 code and I have not been able to make it to the shop. You made the job look simple enough that I will try this myself. Thank you very much for your time. Wish me luck.
Taking a lil extra time to clean the tube out while you have it off is good idea. Mine was gunked up pretty bad. This is a periodical maintenance so putting some high temp never seize on the 10mm bolts can't hurt for the next guy that has to clean it.
Prayers are good. Video well done explaining the EGR valve so now I can clean mine and make sure to be safe and get dirty. I am hoping for mileage increases as 14 MPG sucks.
Thank you very much.. and good luck
just curious, did your MPG increase? if not I highly suggest looking at the O2 sensors or even the coil pack. I had this issue and once I changed the sensors and coil pack my MPG went from 12-14MPG to 15-22MPG. Just depends on what kind of driving you do but definitely helped.
Kinda got exasperated with the babble at the beginning, but want to compliment you on how well you explained the procedure. I'm disabled and can't walk anymore, so my wife was going to have her dad come up and change this out. It's been throwing codes and the van has been running rough and using more gas than normal. Anyway, her dad can't make it til this weekend (today is tuesday), so my wife got impatient and went out to the garage and changed it out herself! Kudos to you for the easy to follow directions and tool sizes to be used. :D
robert e morrison Mo
Thank you so much. I will be trying to clean my EGR valve tomorrow. I'll put something on to loosen the bolts tonight. You may have saved me $70.00. And the end of your video is great.
Thank you so much I had my EGR changed it wasn't dirty but I have been so afraid and cannot buy another car you are so Worthy of your GoFundMe donation
no thanks to you for making it that simple and thanks for saving me $60 for the labor
Appreciate the educational video! I’m about to tackle the EGR on my 3.3l T&C.
You're welcome.. good luck!
My light went out finally , must have needed to run a bit. Thanks for your help, it made the job very painless!
My wife and I are professional couriers and do passenger transfer. We own FOUR 2007 Town and Country vans, two with the 3.3 L and two with the 3.8... Our average milage per MONTH is 2,000 per vehicle. The lowest milage is 189k the highest is 239k. I do almost all of my own maintenance and repair on them. The first thing I did was dump the oil pan, scrape and clean the gunk, new pan gasket, and put MOBILE 1 FULL synthetic oil in and use a Mobile 1 filter... (Most cheap filters go into by-pass after about 3,000 miles) I immediately get 2.5 fo 3.5 MPG increase and smother running and idling engine. ( And if you switch to ETHANOL FREE gas, you get ANOTHER 2-3 MPG increase because ETHANOL (a/k/a Alcohol, reduces the detonation impulse, decreasing gas mileage. AND has TWO major negative effects that are even WORSE...Alcohol is a DESICCANT, meaning it draws water, and it eats synthetic and plastic parts. Ask boaters why they buy ethanol free. I bought an EGR valve for one of the vans as it threw a code...The valve has 160k on it so it was due. Didn't think you could disassemble them and clean them ! Going to try it... Wish me luck, and I will save the new one for a really bad one. Thank you for the awesome, concise video !!!
Did cleaning it work?
For me it did work, the codes didn't come back since
Thanks for this video. I just Changed the EGR on my 2010 w/ 4.0 . Took less than an hour. Dealership wanted 475.00 to change it. The part cost me 125.00.
***** yes it was moved to the back but everything else was the same (8mm & 10mm bolts, connector)
This is wonderful. I watched your video to help decide if I can do this repair or not. I can totally do this!
You just saved me a $400 repair bill.
Sweet.. thanks for watching!
@@adventureoflinkmk2 I lost one of the bolts
@@-g.k.4389 not good.. which one
@@adventureoflinkmk2 the one that goes to the egr plate at the top. I can't find the size
@@-g.k.4389 dunno the size of that bolt tbh
It helps your van get better gas mileage too. I just had a P0404 code read. They reset it and told me drive it awhile to see if it does it again. But, we might get stranded somewhere if the van decides to not start.
Nice job on the video. Part cost me $41.30 from Amazon. Probably saved about $200 for a job that took me 40 minutes max. Note to get to that bottom bolt, you can remove top 10mm bolt, then use a crow bar and gently pry up the EGR valve and get to the bottom bolt easy.
This should be the standard for all repair vids...and all repairs should be as straight forward as this...lol..
Why gold standard? includes extraction/install tips, was around 10 mins, excellent production..
Thank you
You clean it with a nylon 10 ga shotgun brush.. It will look like new..I put mine on a drill. Sprayed it down with oil penetrate. Run it in and out till clean. Then sprayed with CRC throttle body cleaner..Come out clean as new..
I have done this job, and if you will buy a 1/4" Wobble extension, 3", it will work perfectly on that bolt by the alternator without removing the alternator. Better than a u-joint, that did not work well.
Thanks for making this video. My 2009 3.8L Town & Country's EGR is on the driver's side, rear head, requiring some serious leaning over to reach in there.. It displayed code PO 405 today. EGR sensor "A" electrical circuit signal had low volts for a predetermined period of time. I may give a shot at cleaning it and reinstalling to see if that changes anything.
Good luck... I have no idea why Chrysler would move it on the 3.8L all the way in back, especially when front and center worked just fine on the 4th gen vans...
Great video, extremely helpful. I'm getting a P0406 code on our 2006 grand caravan, so I'm going to just replace the EGR valve. Don't really want to deal with cleaning it, unless I get it off and it's completely filthy inside. Your video is very thorough and I feel I'm going into the job very well prepared, even as someone with zero automobile repair skills! Liked and subscribed, Thanks!
Excellent thanks. I'll try it in my van. Greetings from Mexico.
You're welcome.. good luck
Thank you, my good sir this video helped me fix my mum's van.
You're welcome
Thank you for your video. You did a very nice job to describe everything, and made the job look pretty easy.
You're welcome.. thank you for watching :)
Thank well done im now a subscriber
You're welcome.. thanks for the sub
Excellent video we have a similar thought process.
I think it's hilarious the way you think out loud like I do anyway have a great day and thanks so much for the informative video I'm about to take that off today
Haha.. thanks for watching all the same :)
Great video. I cannot get the lower bolts out to save my life. I just don't have the strength.
Chrysler 08, ty for your good video!
@@brendatarlton6655 you're welcome
i have a 07 wrangler with the 3.8l, of coure the engine is in there differently and the egr valve is on the rear of the engine on the passenger side, almost impossible to get to.
The best step by step video out there.
Two thumbs up👍👍snap snap.😁
Thank you very much :)
... take it over to the "bench" (handy bit of landscaping) LOL
I appreciate the engagement, however.. that's just a spam
Ooooh the touchy-feely game! Now things are getting kinky...yes! Lol
Hahahahaha
I love your engine bay. It's so clean.
I will do.
My buddy Dan Bruch had trouble getting the socket in there..he took a small file and cleaned off just a bit of the case from the alternator for that last bolt..just took three of four hits with the file...
code was cleared P0401.. going to have checked again at auto store ( scan) and have replaced gas cap earlier. thx.
Can you show us how to replace a pcv valve on your minivan sxt 3.8 2006 like mine thanks appreciate your video,yesterday I replaced my egr valve and now I want to replace my pcv valve on my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt with 89k thanks
Alternator and ERG is already removed is what I was trying to say, lol. looks like the water pump pulley is going to have to come off as well, and I am assuming the bracket behind it that the Alternator mounts to. Any suggestions are appreciated and welcome. And I thank you again for your time.
That was both well explained and well produced. Thank you very much. Helped immensely. Curious, now, if you've ever come across a nice clean short video demonstrating the easiest way to get access to the high-pressure power steering hose directly in front of the passenger side firewall. I have a leaking power-steering system but need to find out the easiest way to 'get at it' to inspect and further diagnose. Ideally it's just a hose replacement project but cantgetatter to see. Thanks in advance. - dadov3boyz 2005 GrandCaravanSXT that doesn't owe us anything, is just too good to trade in, and provides a great opportunity to show the boys how to maintain an operationally-safe vehicle.
Great video. Very good, step by step explanation.
I just bought the EGR valve but will try to clean the existing one like you did and go from there.
+adventureoflinkmk2 doesnt gunk get caught under the diaphram? mine was dirty as, well, dirty. I cleaned it but the van still wont start
At 6:45 I hope you are right, because I can't get my car to start.
Was gonna say I know on old Saturns there was the quarter trick, if you remove the EGR valve, put a quarter or two where the ports are on the mounting area, put the EGR back on, and run it. If it runs then I believe the valve is bad. Additionally you can also remove the EGR and start the engine, and it'll run at like 4k rpm. If it starts there ya go
Dude thanks for this video saved me alot of guessing definitely going to subscribe in case further issues occur have a 2001 dodge Voyager we use as a winter vehicle .
Dude you're welcome :) and I welcome the subscriptions
@@adventureoflinkmk2 people kept telling me it was the Cadillac converter but I wasn't getting power loss . Just alot of fume smell & motor shaking.
A good close up video.
Thanks. :)
I wish my JK was this easy, the valve may as well be inside the crankcase, you would do well with and air ratchet for this job.
Another fine video replacement or cleaning video ... THANKS again!
Good easy video, was super scared to touch it on my van which is also 3.6 V6 SXT 2005 same process not a single bit different, now getting ready to get and change it, I'll let you know how it's went after I'm done
Thank you
How come you didn't remove those two bolts on top of the valve cover first thing? No seriously?
An this is for all those people who have to struggle to remove the bottom bolt off the EGR valve since the alternator is the way, especially on a 2005 Crylser town and country 3.3 engine.
Here is a tip for you. Remove the top bolt out. Take a pry bar and gently put it over the alternator body and pry up the EGR valve and that will give you access to the bottom bolt. May the force be with you. Cheers. :)
great videos, got a question,where is the coolant temp sensor on 05 caravan 3.3
Dunno where that is exactly...
This really helped me.... thank you.
You're welcome
Nice video..clear and concise
Thank you :)
Thanks and God bless
You're welcome
Informative and clear!
Thank you very much
Terrific tutorial, thanks Big Daddy Adventure!
You are welcome my son.. lololol
Use lucas injector cleaner it will clean it and clear codes.
How do you clear the codes after changing out the EGR valve?
Thank you your video really helped me and saved me money
You're welcome
BTW, the 2008 3.8 liter engine has the EGR valve near the back right of the engine, on the driver's side...:(
Hey not sure if you can but if you could add into the video about checking that egr tube going to the intake. Mine was clogged something serious.
Dunno if I can put it in the video now... But good call out all the same
I didn't get it out . I figured that when Istarted the bottom bolt was only screwed in
halfway , that if I just put the top bolt in it would be the same as before I started working
on it . I just put the top bolt and tightened it up real well. If I have any problems in the
future I'll address it then.
great video... really helpful
Glad it helped... thanks for watching :)
Before changing/cleaning the EGR valve you should check for 5 vref and ground. If either are missing it is unlikely that the valve is the issue.
+adventureoflinkmk2 what colors were the wires to the ERG valve?
Good video, thanks man. Gonna replace one on my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan now.
Love the vids man very informative
great i just bough a 2006, with that problem and will deal with it thanks to your very informative video
My car had this code p0404 like 7 months ago. I replaced the EGR. Check engine light went off for like 7 months. The same code came back again 2 days ago. I went to oreally.they told me to replace the EGR again. Any idea why the egr stops working after 7 months.?
Aftermarket unit most likely
I have a question....Why does my gear shift in my 2010 dodge caravan not switch to the 1-6 gears ...it drives great no problems but is missing the knob for the shifter please help thanks
Busted shifter and PRNDL switch will do that. Edit: same with a broken wire somewhere within the shifter assembly
www.chryslerminivan.net/threads/ers-manual-shift-2010-town-and-country.24619/
enjoyed your video. going to try to look for it on my 2009. 3.3 liter.
Clean the end of the pipe that goes into the intake
Good stuff, complete and well done. Thanks for the help!
I'm gonna try this ! I have a 1996 town and country van hopely it won't keep stalling on me when I slow down . it doss it just sometimes
I wish mine was in the front of engine but no its located in the back driver side and it looks plastic, (08 C.T&C 3.3V6) Im just dealing with all kinds of issues with it rn... over 300K on it
@shaunsfrench1942 unfortunately that's the bad thing about the 5th gen vans, the EGR is in back
getting ready to go have this fun.... thanks
Wow, I thought I was going to have to loosen the alternator to get that bottom bolt.....
Engine light still on, though it was checked and I was told it was the egr valve... hmmm? I installed a new one with gaskets.
The power is back, the rough idle is gone. I think I need to go have the light checked again, I don't see how I could have put anything back together wrong, but I'm a trial and error person lol.
+adventureoflinkmk2 no they didn't tell me. there were 3 though
I was thinking of doing that and see if maybe an O2 sensor or something else is going to be causing it.
Ok, I took my van out on the open highway and the engine light has gone off....sweet.
Very helpgul
Thank you!!!
thanks for your time man. thanks for the kind words as well! I'm replacing a freeze plug on a town and country. Alt and get off so far. Do you have a video that relates?
THANK YOU🙂
YOU'RE WELCOME 😊
under one year I changed mines twice on my 09 VW Routan
This was so helpful! Thanks a million!
very nice video man...excellent!
Thank you very much
Could not get the bottom bolt off either without completely stripping it. I gave up and will return the new part and just take it to the shop.
always spray bolts before you start I use wd40
Nice video m8! Gonna try it on my 2008 T&C soon!
***** It is still not too bad to get at, but not as easy. I cleaned one today.
All done as it's should be, thanks a lot for this simple video, check engine gone now yeeep
Perfect instructions, thank you for the help!
How long did you allow the carb cleaner to stay inside the EGR valve? Did you use a pipe cleaner, toothbrush or any other apparatus to clean inside? Did you clean the EGR tube as well using carb cleaner?
Yeah egr tube cleaned justin case.
The pressure from the spray straw was more than enough to get most crud out, however you could use pipe cleaners or toothbrushes, no harm in it imo
Thing is, when you're done with the carb cleaner you'll wanna spray brakleen or similar on after since the carb cleaner leaves a film behind
I replaced mine twice in a week an I’m still getting the same code an the check engine light is still on with the same code
Hmm. Either faulty part or it needs more diagnosis.
YOU NEVER EVER WANT TO RE-USE EGR GASKETS or any gasket unless the gasket is cited as reusable. Most of the time re-usable gaskets are rubber!!!!!! -ASE Tech
Even if you're just taking it off to clean it?
@@FightMusic *you're
And yes. The idea is that non-reusable gaskets are fully crushable or even somewhat crushable. Once crushed, even if you can't see it, it's now junk. So even if you just loosened the bolts and re-tightened them without even removing anything, you likely will have the tiniest microscopic gap due to tiny differences in tightening pattern, tightening torque and exact position of the two parts you're mating. This type of gasket is the entire purpose of its existence: to prevent microscopic gaps.
@@BPoweredLove Thanks!
The one shown in this video appears to be very specific to the EGR valve. Can you buy these specific to those? Only at a dealership?
No check engine light. But my 2006 town and country stalled while turning at a stop light. Oil light came on, then went away. Was able to start it right back and had a rough (poor idling) ride home.
Drove it around the block again at a stop sign while turning, it stalled one more time, oil light again. Let it sit for an hour, disconnected the EGR cable, dusted it off, put it back on. Drove it a couple miles, no issue.
Could the stalling be related to the EGR valve needing to be cleaned, or replaced? I had the EGR code pop a while back and knocked the valve with a hammer to loosen anything up and it went away. Not sure if that worked.
Thanks for the video, I might give it a cleaning tomorrow. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Read a bunch of message boards about stalling and your video seems to answer this issue. Also, I just replaced my starter, could it be a ground issue? Anyone have this issue as well?
Yeah, if it doesn't stall with the egr disconnected... im sure it would be egr related. You could try cleaning it
What if I changed the egr and cleaned the tod but the check engine light is still on
If so, it could be something in the circuit or the computer
I need help... my dodge won't start and when I tried to start it there is black smoke and ash (like out of a chimney) that comes out from the exhaust pipe. Now, it won't start at all and I already changed all of the spark plugs. The car only has 84,000 miles on it. I don't think the engine is bad but I don't know the problem. Thanks.
thanks, man! This helped from me getting a new car!
Great video !!!
Thank you sir :) thanks for watching!
Good video helped me fix my van
Is it wise to cleane the EGR if you don't have any codes . I have a 2004 Chrysler T/C 3.3 V6
which I don't beleive has ever been changed or cleaned. At this time I have 140,000 mi. onit .
It is running a little rough. I have a code P0300 which is a ramdom misfire .But the car seems to run pretty good for its age.
Thanks Mccreron18
Yes, it would be wise to clean the EGR and even the throttle body, just for preventative maintenance.
As for p0300, that indeed is a random misfire, I'd start by looking at the coils if not the entire ignition system
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it...
very good step by step

SUBJECT:
EGR System Elimination
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin provides technical details about the elimination of EGR valves.
MODELS:
2002 (RS) Town & Country/Caravan/Voyager
NOTE: THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLE WITH A 3.3L OR 3.8L
ENGINE (SALES CODES EGA, EGH, EGM).
DISCUSSION:
A running change to eliminate the EGR system is being made during the 2002 model year.
The change will be made in steps. First, the EGR will be turned off in the calibration (PCM
software), followed by the removal of the EGR valve. This left a period of time during
which vehicles were built with a non-functioning EGR valve on the engine. The following
information will help to identify and service a functioning versus non-functioning EGR valve:
• Vehicles with functioning EGR valves.
Vehicles built before September 18, 2001 (MDH 0918XX) at the Windsor Assembly
Plant (”R” in the 11th position of the VIN) and September 14 (MDH 0914XX) at the St.
Louis Assembly Plant (“B” in the 11th position of the VIN) will have functioning EGR
valves. Normal diagnostic and service procedures apply.
• Vehicles built with non-functioning EGR valves.
Vehicles built after the dates mentioned above through approximately the end of
October, 2001 will have a non-functioning EGR valve on the engine and may or may not
have an EGR vacuum harness. Vehicles built after approximately the end of October,
2001 will not have an EGR valve on the engine. In either case, the vehicle VECI label
will identify the EGR valve “non-functional” and have a dotted line to the EGR valve.
For non-functional EGR equipped vehicles electronic diagnostics will not function,
however, the electrical connection must be maintained if the vehicle has an EGR
vacuum harness (the EGR solenoid must be energized to shut off vacuum flow to
the EGR valve). If the vehicle does not have an EGR vacuum harness the electrical
connector may or may not be disconnected and taped back to the harness.
If a non-functional EGR valve is diagnosed with a problem, the EGR valve must be
removed and cover plates installed, per the following procedure:
18-026-01 -2-
PARTS REQUIRED:
Qty. Part No. Description
1 04591227 Plate, EGR Cover, Head
1 05277723 Gasket, EGR Cover, Head
2 06503692 Screw Cover Plate, Head
1 04861623AA Plate, EGR Cover, Intake Manifold
1 03580172 Plug, EGR Vacuum Intake Manifold
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE APPLIES TO VEHICLES BUILT AFTER SEPTEMBER
18, 2001 (MDH 0918XX) AT THE WINDSOR ASSEMBLY PLANT (“R” IN THE
11TH POSITION OF THE VIN) AND SEPTEMBER 14 (MDH 0914XX) AT THE ST.
LOUIS ASSEMBLY PLANT (“B” IN THE 11TH POSITION OF THE VIN) WITH
NON-FUNCTIONING EGR VALVES AND AN EGR VALVE PROBLEM .
1. Remove the two screws holding the EGR tube to the upper intake manifold, and save
for reuse (the silicone sealing ring will remain on the intake manifold).
2. Disconnect EGR vacuum connector from nipple on upper intake manifold (if present).
3. Remove the entire EGR valve assembly with adaptor base from the
cylinder head including EGR tube.
4. Install EGR cover plate, p/n 04861623AA, onto upper intake manifold using the two
screws saved in Step 1. Ensure that the words “THIS SIDE UP” are visible on the
cover plate after installation. Tighten screws to 4 Nm (35 in. lbs.).
5. Install EGR cover plate onto the cylinder head, using gasket, p/n 05277723,
and screws, p/n 06503692. Tighten to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.).
6. Install cap, p/n 03580172, onto EGR vacuum nipple on upper intake manifold.
7. If the EGR electrical connector is not already taped back to the
wire harness tape it to the harness.

Just in case anyone missed it like I initially did, that TSB applies ONLY to model year 2002. I found the PDF by googling: chrysler 18-026-01
I watched your video on how to clean the throttle body. When i took mine off to clean it, it was completely gunked up is there another sensor in the vacuum line connected to the throttle body that eill cause that?
@@mrcliftondiablo unfortunately gunked up throttle bodies are the end result of the PCV and/or EGR systems. I forgot which
@@adventureoflinkmk2 thank you I'll be cleaning my EGR while I replace my TB and I'll eventually replace the pcv
@@mrcliftondiablo you're welcome
And, when you do the PCV Valve, make sure you either do the valve covers and gaskets or at least use a hot air gun. The pcv valve is inside the rear valve cover and is a pain to get out
