1995 Toyota Tercel DX 182,000 engine light is on. Took to advance auto. Reading said EGR system fault, too little flow. Can I try to replace just the EGR Gasket first to see if the light will go away or replace the EGR Valve?

There's more to it than just the gasket-could be the VSV ain't giving it to the EGR or a faulty modulator or carboned-up in the passages.

Comeback if needed-I know the feeling of the panic light-scary Huh! don't blame you. You never know what's gonna happen.
