hey i was wondering where the egr valve was located on my 92 rodeo 3.1l, and also how to remove it, i want to clean it out, any help you be appreciated, picture would be even more help, thanks guys

i have read stuff on here about i think 98 rodeos egr locationa nd cleaning procedure, but i have no idea where my 92 is located, just to clear that up, i have already read how to do it, but i just need to know where it is

not sure on the 3.1 models dont work on many of them you may want to ask sthe guys in one of the GM forums as the 3.1L engine is a GM engine

thanks for the tip, wheres the gm forum?? i looked at all the forums and didnt see it

the EGR valve is located behind the TBI unit on the intake manifold. It is shaped kind of like a mushroom and is held in place by 2 10mm bolts. you will also need a replacement mounting gasket available at your local auto parts store

Although it's a crummy picture, the egr is the spaceship looking thing underneath the breather and where the cables meet.

I was leaning into the engine compartment over the driver's side fender to take the pic. There are 2 bolts holding it to the engine. The bolt heads face the right side of the picture (firewall). There is a single hose connected to the egr that has to come off. Some carb cleaner or brake cleaner and a small wire brush is handy to clean it. You should be able to push the vacuum inside the egr easily with your fingers:
