EGR Valve.?

Where do I find the EGR valve on my 2000 neon I have been told that is the reason my car is knocking so much.How do I find it and how do i change it (how much will this cost me to buy )?EGR Valve.?
You could change it but, the computer will need to be reset.EGR Valve.?
go to the parts house and get the new valve first so you know what it looks like. The valve is located on the top of the engine, underneat the back side of the fuel injection system. it is on the end where the transmission sits and is normally just in front of the distributor cap.EGR Valve.?
EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. You can find it by following the exhaust out of the engine and look for where there is a return to the intake. It may not be necessary to replace the valve. They get all gummed up from the exhaust and start to malfunction, valve won't open completely. Before you replace it take it out and give it a good cleaning so that all of the moving parts move freely. Put it back in and that should fix the problem if it was the EGR valve.EGR Valve.?
90% of the time it's right on time or on the side in clear view!! very simple replacementEGR Valve.?
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?br>


YOU SHOULD GET THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED AND CHECK FOR ANY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS CODES AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD IDEA ON WHAT THE PROBLEM TRULY IS.



TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.



LEAVE IT THERE WITH THEM SO THAT THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM FOR YOU, IT WILL BE A LOT BETTER THAN JUST REPLACING PART AFTER PART AND NO DOING ANY GOOD.EGR Valve.?
Take your car to someone that works on cars all the time, a EGR valve only cost a few dollars(10.00 maybe not much),but knocking means something is loose on your motor could be a number of different things (their are a lot of moving parts in there) the EGR valve is located on your valve cover, it plugs in the top and has a 1/2 inch rubber hose connected to it, you can pull it out and shake it if it raddled it is OK, then start your engine and see if steam comes out of your valve cover or take your oil stick out and see if steam comes out there if steam comes out either place its not your EGR valve....SORRY.....Good luck
