Ok where is it?
Look on the INTAKE MANIFOLD behind the throttle body.
it will look like a small pot with a flange on the side and a pipe on the other with a large nut. Vacuum line comes off the pot side.
You'll need a 1/2" socket and a 1-1/16" open end slugging wrench.
Make sure you use plenty of PB Blaster (or equivalent) on the large nut. This is a flare fitting from the exhaust and will have a bit of rust on the threads.
Get a new gasket from the local auto store (about $2.00). clean the EGR (INSIDE the pipe end) with a small bottle brush and carb cleaner.
Have fun!
