Hi all:
 
I have a 1988 Ford F-150, 4X4, 5.0L. engine.
 
Does anyone have any info on what inputs are used by the PCM to decide
to open the EGR valve on this engine. I can't believe that the PCM opens
the valve relative to the engine rpm only. I am trying to debug a
problem that I have with an EGR that is not opening. I have performed
all of the diagnostic tests recommended by Ford and everything (EGR,
EVP, EGR Solenoid) works in static mode.  But the valve does not open
while driving the vehicle.
 
If anyone has any info on this or can lead me to a site that may shed
some light on this issue I would appreciate it.
 
Regards,
 
Joe
