I have an 04 F250 6.0 diesel with 175K miles. About a week or so i noticed there is not much power starting off but seems to get better as I drive. I took the EGR valve out lat weekend and cleaned it, but boy oh boy was it dirty. Put it back in but really didnt see a difference. Well yesterday when I got in it the check engine light was on, took it and the the code read and the P2262 was found. Could the ERG valve be bad or where should I start to look. I can hear the turbo whining as I accellerte but really have no clue what it is, need some help here. thanks

 

You may not have seated the EGR valve in all the way. Check it.

Also, check the MAP tube for obstruction.

 

ok ill check those things out, i dont have photobucket on this computer so how would I add a picture of the EGR valve?

 

If you are able too.

Have your photo on the desk top and click on "Go Advanced" when you post next.

Scroll below and find "manage attachments".

If you can add attachments, that is the place you can do it.

Hard to take a picture of the EGR valve and if it is seated, tight in there.

 

I dont see where is says Go Advanced or add attachments on here. the picture is of the EGR when i took it out

 

Sorry, you must not have that availability.

Send it to me if you like. I'll post it for you.

P2262: Stuck turbo, MAP sensor, MAP hose plugged up; sensor unplugged, or leaking, CAC leaks, intake leaks, exhaust restriction, EBP sensor or EBP tube plugged. This code is set when MGP does not go above 5 kPa or 0.7 psi when the following conditions are met: rpm must be above 2800; VFDES above 20; and EGRVP is below 0.10. All of these conditions must be met for 5 seconds for the code to be set.

 

Good list.

Here is his EGR valve.

 

I've seen hellacious worse. It's actually not that bad.

IIRC that "list" of conditions I posted is the detailed description of what causes that code as Bismic posted it. I do not know what all the abbreviations mean.

 

so should I lean more looking at the MAP sensor for now?

Here is a good how to post photos

Before you condemn the MAP sensor, there are two things you can do. First, monitor BARO, MAP and EBP_A readings at key-on/engine-off. All three should indicate about 14.3 psi (or whatever atmospheric pressure is in your geographical location), give or take and be within 0.5 psi of each other. If all three indicate similar, pull the MAP sensor hose from the intake manifold and blow into it (YES, I said blow into it). Do you see the reading respond? If yes, you have no issue with the MAP sensor. If no, you likely have a blocked up hose, or the MAP sensor is faulty.

 

What is the easiest way to check the MAP sensor?

 

Like M-chan said Blow into it.

Just watch out for the black after mark from the hose.

That sounds like sticky turbo vanes to me. Do you have a way to monitor some pids?
