I have searched the forums and all i could find stuff on the EGR valve was for the 4th gen. I recently took my max to advance auto to check SES light and they guy told me my EGR valve was clogged. I also recently put Seafoam in my brake booster line. SES light is still on. Can someone post pictures of the EGR valve so i know what im looking for

 

Anyone?

 

What year maxima do you have? The EGR valve was deleted from midway through 2000 model year or 2001. I can't remember which one.

You can find the EGR valve (if you have it) under the VIAS solenoid/actuator. You will have to take off the intake to get a good look.

First...check the FSM of your model year to see if you have and EGR valve. You can find FSM in link below.

That thing confused me :\ but i got a 2001 Maxima Se V6 3.0L . the man at advanced auto said the code was for my egr valve. but now that you mention it... He went back to his computer and said he couldnt even find an egr valve to price out for me.
