For Father's Day I decided to let my Dad help me replace the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve on my 2000 Ford Focus (which has a 2001 engine).
After bottoming out pulling into my driveway in Tucker, GA a few years ago - the bolted end broke away from the gasket and the car was making a god awful noise upon acceleration and stalling out at inopportune times.
The process was rather simple in comparison to replacing the fuel filter -- and I'm much more confident in the car's ability to transfer me to the ATL the first week in July. All told it probably took just under an hour to remove the battery, disconnect some hoses, remove the old EGR valve and replace it with the new one -- and then reverse the process.
Thanks for the help pops! Hope Father's Day was a blast. I know Mark's extremely jealous right now.
