Sorry, don't have a pic...but look to the left of the transmission dipstick in front of the manifold and you should see a small green connector with three little hoses coming out of it. This is the EGR control solenoid.

Heres a couple pics of it. Problem is there are three identicval looking valves in the car, the only difference being the color of their electrical connectors. I think this is the right one. These pics are out of a '96

With connector attatched:


Connector removed for viewing:


Hope this helps

Yes, it is possible for an inoperative egr system to result in light knock according to the FSM.
