im looking for the egr valve on a 97 mazda 626 its not in top of engine like other cars where can it be?????o and its a 4 cylinder
okay your gonna look at your intake manifold. Then locate where your air intake connects to the throttle body. Look around the throttle body and you should see the egr valve it will be hidden by your air intake but if you look hard enough you'll find it and also if you see in vacuum lines running around there, they will point you in the right direction because your egr valve has two vacuum lines that run to it. hopefully that helps.
You egr valve will be located on the exhaust or have a metal tube running from the exhaust the other side of it will be mounted on or near the intake. you can also look at the vacuum routing label on the hood if it is vaccum controlled it will be listed on the diagram
Dont know about your car, but look near the intake by the fuel rail
