Before you do that make sure the green hose on top of the EGR valve is properly attached on both sides (the valve and the intake manifold). Here's a picture of another Ford vehicle to show which hose I'm talking about (thanks to the original poster for it).

Best regards,

thanks for your reply, I'll double check tomorrow morning.
