I have a engine shimmy/bump/shake at idle. I got a number 5 misfire and replaced the plugs, wires and ignition coil but the still have the problem. I've looked to replace to EGR valve but cannot find it. Checked other forums and some have said there isn't one and some said there is. While others said to replace the DFPE. Need some guidance on this.

Hey RBOLISH,

The EGR valve is located bolted to the intake manifold with a vacuum line going to it. Here is what it looks like, Please let me know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. There are two styles. (Below). Please let us know what happens.

I don't know what the code was. Auto Zone did the free computer test to see why the check engine light was on and the results were to have to EGR Valve replaced. That is all I know.

See what the most common is the DPFE sensor
on the EGR system and replacing the valve will not help
if you can try and get the code again I can send you the test step to it

We don't have a good picture of that at all only the valves there are a few different types. With something that old you'll have ot find another vehicle with same engine unless I can find something on the ford site. See pic and it gives a few ideas where it may be located. Or at base of carb which if it were there would have aplate to it.

I don't have the repair book for your vehicle but I did some checking online and I don't think your timing is adjustable. Check the VECI sticker under your hood. It should tell you the degrees of timing, if it's adjustable. If it doesn't have it, it's not adjustable.

The EGR valve is on the drivers side of the engine, with the tube going into the intake manifold.

Your computer is an OBDI. To reset it, disconnect the negative battery cable for a half-hour.
