2001 Mercury Sable with Duratec V6 DOHC engine: EGR Vacuum Solenoid question

Asked by DaveTX Dec 31, 2014 at 12:06 AM about the 2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The car was in a bad shop out of town and came out with a fresh set of problems.  It is
now generating a P0401 Engine Check Code which indicates there is a problem with the
EGR system.  Looking things over I noticed that there are no vacuum tubes on the EGR
Vacuum Solenoid.  That seems like a likely excuse for the engine check.  Where do those
small tubes come from and go to?

Jim, I found the line. It was dangling off the back of the engine. With a bit of delicate jerking and jiggling I managed to extract it. Reinstalling it was easy.
