Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

Default EGR and accel problem

I think I found my poor accel problem. Can someone tell me where can I find my 93 T-bird emssions label?
The only trouble code I got was a low EGR voltage, so Iīm looking for vacuum leaks (autozone guys told me there was no vaccum at all) and to check EGR voltage as well. To find my carīs vaccum diagram I need the emissions label to ID my car system.
Any advices??? (EGR valve its new)

The vacuum line that you are wanting to check will be right on the EGR valve. The vacuum diagram should be on the "header" panel in front of the radiator. Autozone.com also has vacuum diagrams online for most vehicles.

The DPFE sensor, which measures the amount of backpressure the egr valve is subjected to, also check for a broken wire.
