EGO valve WTF!?!?

My check engine light came on so I code scanned it with a snap-on code reader and it told me "ego valve not switching". WTF is an EGO valve and why isn't it switching on my truck?

Vanhecht is right. as far as i can tell EGO stands for exhaust gas oxgen sensor which is your O2 sensor. i could find nothing about a valve. but, if there was a valve id look around the O2 sensor.

or, you can use the definition of ego valve on this site http://members.aol.com/chiasmushf/dick.html :-)
