EGR Valve

[4mllr]

Okay- I took my screwdriver and pulled my codes the other day. Misfiring cylinder?? no problem- handled.. Knock Sensor?? I'm on it. But Wait...
Where is this EGR valve?? Does anyone know where it is or where I could find out?

just a side question: how difficult would it be to replace a fender. Could it be done by a shadetree mechanic in an afternoon?

it could be done in an afternoon, but it wont be painted in that time probably...it depends on their schedule

It is buried under the throttle body intake in the sea of hoses. You need to remove the intake with accordian just to catch a peak. Looks like a little gold UFO with a small metal tube coming out the bottom and a large tube from the exhaust. The small tube is the one that gets restricted flow because of carbon build-up.
