2006 Ford Escape EGR Valve — What it has, what it does, and how to look after it

Technical references show the 2006 Ford Escape may or may not have an external EGR valve, depending on engine and emissions package. The Ford Workshop Manual (2006 Escape, Section 303-08: Engine Emission Control) and mainstream service databases (e.g., ALLDATA/Mitchell) list an external EGR valve and DPFE feedback on the 3.0L Duratec V6. By contrast, the 2.3L Duratec (particularly PZEV-calibrated models) is documented by the Ford Workshop Manual (303-00/303-14) as using variable cam timing to achieve internal EGR, so no separate EGR valve is fitted.
