My check engine light has been on for a few days and I had it checked on a computer. it showed that the EGR valve was bad. Could you tell me where this is located in the car. And also is it easy to replace or should I take it to a garage? Thanks!

You can check and clean the EGR valve but what we find 90% it not the EGR valve
check and or replace (DPFE) differential pressure feedback EGR sensor
located on center rear of engine near right side of intake manifold
