The check engine light is on for my 1998 Toyota Camry, 4-cylinder. I had the diagnostic run and purchased a replacement egr valve. After this did not work I searched the internet and found that the more likely faulty part is the EGR vacuum switching valve. I referenced the schematic in the owner's manual, but cannot find it under the hood. If anyone can give me an exact location it would be extremely helpful in my deciding whether to undertake this repair myself or deal with the light. Any general comments regarding installation would be appreciated as well... estimated time, what parts removed to access,... Thanks

Follow the hoses from the bottom of the EGR vacuum modulator and the bottom/side of the EGR valve, on the back of the engine. It is under the intake manifold. You will need to access this from under the car. For more info download the service manual free at:
