You may need to test the solenoid to make sure it's the problem. Also, if the other solenoids look the same, you possibly could swap them to get the egr working. Cross your fingers that the others don't have that important a job as far as emissions.

They do though.

The other two controls the thermactor system. Thermactor air bypass and Thermactor air diverter solenoids.

On the 5.0 the EGR control solenoid and TAB/TAD solenoids have different plug configurations. You might want to check that before you consider swapping them on the 4.9.

E4TZ9D474B .. EGR Solenoid Vacuum Valve Assy / MARKED: E4TE-B2A or B3A

EDIT: E4TZ9D474B was REPLACED by FORD with: E5TZ9D474A

It's STILL AVAILABLE from Ford.

Ford suggested retail price: $162.30 / ftepartsguy.com price: $116.86


(1984 F150 4.9L = CA vehicle: Calibration Code Chart Application Parts Lists: 358, 359, 362, 364, 365, 392-all the solenoid #'s matched)

Wow! I'm soooooo glad that I'm exempt from this stuff! No wonder why so many nice trucks end up going to the scrap heap!

I looked at a vehicle (my wife's company truck) and got the number off it.

E1TZ-9D474-A .. EGR Solenoid Vacuum Valve Assy-DIST OBSOLETE

E1TZ-9D474-C .. EGR Solenoid Vacuum Valve Assy-THERMACTOR OBSOLETE

Green Sales & Dennis Carpenter's NOS websites: ZERO

Suggestion: Contact ftepartsguy.com and ask Ed to run the number on Ford's dealer obsolete parts locator system.

That's the little bugger I need. My friend at Ford said the same thing Bill. Obsolete. He also looked it up through the nationwide dealer parts locator to no avail. Thanks for the help BTW.


E1TZ-9D474-C .. EGR Solenoid Vacuum Valve Assy-THERMACTOR OBSOLETE
I have three extras of the Thermactor ones that I've salvaged. They also sell this set at kragen for my vehicle although I would have to fabricate a bracket. The solenoids are the same but the bracket is different.
