DESCRIPTION

INTERMITTENT ROUGH IDLE - NON-COMMANDED EGR FLOW

ISSUE

Some 1997-2005 5.4L 2V vehicles may exhibit an intermittent rough idle. This may be due to non-commanded EGR flow.

ACTION

EGR flow can be detected by comparing the stabilized DPFEGR KOER voltage (from NGS/WDS) at idle after manually opening and closing the EGR valve through 8 cycles. Record the DPFEGR voltage after each cycle. If the DPFEGR voltage increases by 0.03V or more from the stabilized idle voltage and is associated with a rough idle, the valve should be replaced. Refer to the following Service Procedure.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Connect NGS/WDS and monitor DPFEGR PID.
Record initial stabilized DPFEGR voltage.
Disconnect the EGR valve vacuum line and connect hand held vacuum pump.
Raise RPM to prevent stalling and fully open the EGR valve.
Fully close valve and return to idle.
Record stabilized DPFEGR voltage.
Repeat Steps 4-6, eight (8) times.
If voltage increases by 0.03V or more with an associated rough idle condition during any of the cycles, the EGR valve may be sticking. Lightly tap the EGR valve casting and observe if voltage returns to initial DPFEGR value.
1. If the DPFEGR voltage returns to the initial value and the associated rough idle is gone replace the EGR valve.
2. If there is no change in DPFEGR voltage do not replace the EGR valve and perform normal diagnostics.
If the EGR valve is replaced repeat Steps 3-6, two (2) times to verify fix.
