Pardon my ignorance, but if I'm standing in front of my truck (95 S-10 6 cylinder 4.3L) facing the engine compartment, where do I locate the EGR value? What tools are required to remove it and or clean it?
TIA

TIA Jim it should be right in front on the intake...All you need is a socket and ratchet i think its a 10mm.....Just pull off the electrical connection and the bolts and it comes right off....

but getting it out is another matter
Yeah, what Gary said. At least yours is on the front, I have an 88, and it is hidden behind the TBI near the firewall, so you have to work on it almost blind sprawled across the motor to reach it. Tough on the back unless you remove the hood, which is more work than it's worth.

If it is like the 94 4.3 with CPI it will come out the opening to the right of the EGR itself. You just need to tip it 90 degrees as you pull it out. Oh make sure the wire is unhooked and the air inlet duct is off. I have enough practice with mine that I can R&R the thing in less than
20 minutes. Now that I have installed a barrier (used a heli-coil and stretched it just a minor amount to let the gases through but not the carbon hunks) I haven't touched it. I may pull it again just to check on the coil and see if it is holding OK.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
