Anyone care to venture a guess as to where the EGR valve is located on this engine, and whether it's the valve or sensor that is setting a PO402 'excessive EGR flow fault code'???
Thanks

If you look for the small flex tube running off the exhaust, the egr is at the end of it bolted to the throttle body...excessive flow could be a stuck valve or bad EGR solinoid.

Thanks Merlin. I found it. I'm new to these electronic everythilng engines and paranoid about making mistakes, so I proceed very cautiously.
