I have a 1994 Legacy and am trying to find the egr valve. I am pretty good at working on cars and know my way around an engine for minor repairs. I can not find this egr valve. I followed the vacume hose from the backflow thing and went right to the spark plug electrical spot. The lay out on the hood for the vacume hoses does not show the EGR valve anywhere. I shows the purge valve solenoid which was showing up as needing to be replaced on the trouble code. Any ideas where the EGR valve? any pics of it/ Thanks
Does my Subaru have EGR valve?

Don't think that year had one but if it does, there has to be a stainless steel line that runs from one of the exhaust ports up to the EGR valve that will be attached to the backside of the intake manifold, probably on the driver's side.
I know for some years only the automatics had EGRs, and the manuals did not. Not sure of the year though.
It appears Soobs have had them from about 1990, so likely yours does.
I found some links with some pics that might help you spot it;

Just remembered I have a 93 2.2 w/4EAT out in the shed. Went out and checked it and no EGR.
Wanna sell it?
Sure would but don't you live in NE? Shipping would be a bear.

Yeah, I do.
I'm surprised. I can get a 3.3L Chrysler engine for my Grand Caravan for $99, but a 2.2 costs ~$1200!!!
Subie engines are in demand. Not only do they last forever, but they are light and easily maintained. A friend of mine parted out a 1980 rusted out station wagon and got 300 bucks for the motor in a matter of hours after listing it. This was just a plain old subaru engine with nearly 210k miles on it. It was going to be rebuilt and put in a plane. They're great engines.
