The ZX2 engine does not use and EGR valve. Rather it uses variable exhaust cam timing. The exhaust cam turns due to oil pressure being sent to the CVT. The exhaust valves are held open while the intake valves are open which allows the exhaust gas recirculation.

How do you position the cam and crank sprockets on a 1997 Mazda miata?

Rotate the crank pulley at the bottom of the engine until the dimple is at top dead center. Use a second socket set to rotate the intake and exhaust cam sprockets so that the "I" (intake) is at the top dead center on the intake cam, and "E" (Exhaust) is at the top dead center of the exhaust cam. Place the timing belt on the engine. You may need a tool or helper to keep the crank pulley in place while you apply the timing belt. Test your placement by rotating the crank pulley two full rotations. Verify that the intake and exhaust cams return to the original positions - I and E at the top of the cam gears.
