Check engine light came on. Ok so my car tells me it needs a new EGR valve. Anybody have good pics of it? toyota said 158 for a new one. Can i replace it myself? Does it just need to be cleaned? My car has 137k on it, lotsa buildup. My car still runs smooth. How imparitive is it that i get it replaced? I have emissions this month.

try pulling the valve and cleaning it. It can develop carbon buildup especially if you drive your car over very short distances so it does not get up to op temp. We had an experimental EGR cooler on our ethanol car in 98 in university. Scrape it off and give it a shot but it could still be the electical bits.
