EGR valve
i pulled the codes on my '96 5.0 a fiew days ago it said "ERG valve insufficent flow". if i reset the computer it will take a fiew weeks to turn back on. is it even worth takin it apart and cleaning it out? will it make the 5.0 run lean and use more gas?

Try to take off the top part thats on the egr valve (which is the egr valve position sensor) thats held in by 3 small bolts and clean it up and what you can inside. If this isn't good enough you will either have to take the whole thing off and clean it up or buy a new one. I think you might run lean without it working right.

Check your exhaust system and make sure you don't have clogged cats because these sensors run about $65 bucks. Hope this helps.
