Blocking off an EGR valve can make the car run rough. The fuel mileage can suffer as well, since the car is designed to have the EGR valve operable.
its the hose coming off of the valve cover that's the egr valve
The egr valve should be coming off of the exhaust manifold.
EGR is the acronym for exhaust gas recirculation valve. This valve controls the pollutant level given off by the vehicle.
You cannot simply turn an EGR valve off. You can clean it, replace it, or remove it, but you cannot turn it off.
The EGR valve and the EGR sensor work together. The EGR gas temperature sensor is mounted near the EGR valve. The sensor detects the temperature of the exhaust as it moves through the valve. The information is sent to the ECM and in turn the EGR on/off time is regulated precisely and more efficiently. Any malfunction with the EGR gas temperature sensor will set off a code 35 ( Info taken from HAYNES MANUAL)
If you mean the EGR (exhaust Gas Reclaimer), no.
The EGR Valve on a 2006 Corolla is located on the driver's side of the motor at the very top of the valve cover. Look for a disk shaped valve that kind of looks like a flying saucer. It has two small hoses coming off of it that are connected to the EGR Valve Modulator.
AnswerIt's under the EGR modular. The EGR modular is on the top of the engine on the passangers side close to the fire wall and looks like a black hockey puck. Follow the very short vaccum line off of it to the EGR valve. 2 hoses run to the EGR switch and the bottom 1 runs to the EGR valve.
take the EGR valve off and spray carb cleaner in the egr valve and in the port. This will some times work as it gets plugged up

Should not have to. EGR valves are usually a very simple bolt-off, bolt-on replacement.
