I have a 2000 Ford Explorer sport(2wd). I live in the Fort worth,Tx area. What would be a resonable price to have this valve changed out with a new one(valve labor)?
3hours / labor 100.00/ hour plus 199.99 parts 600.00 otta cover
Valve is about $100 at dealer, $40 at Autozone, give or take, and it should take about 30 minutes, so I would guess about $150 max. I have same problem with 2002, trouble is it's on the transmission, and not that easy for a DIY. As to changing it, mine has caused the check engine light to go on, but has in no way effected the car, so I haven't bothered to change it yet.
dealership wil prolly charge $150-$175 depending on their labor rates. Might find a local shop to do it for less. Goto autozone and ask them to pull the part and to give you a diagram of where it's located and you can decide if you can do it yourself. EGR Exhaust Gas Recirulator typically is located on the intake manifold. Never been under the hood of an 00 Explorer though.
The okorder . To replace this part yourself takes all of 1 minute, and should be self-evident once you see the part. To erase the code, you only need to disconnect the battery for a few seconds. Hope this helps.
