How many coils do i change in my 2002 Toyota tacoma cylinders truck?

There is 1 coil per cylinder, if you have the fault codes read, it will tell you which one to replace. To check, swap the coil with the cylinder next to it, if the fault follows the coil. The coil is bad. If it stays with the cylinder, check/swap spark plugs, injectors, until the fault moves. It is cheaper swapping to find which part is bad before buying/throwing parts at it.

How do you know timing belt snapped?

There are two things to consider here. First, where is the camshaft located in your engine, and second, is it an interference setup. If you don't know what either of these things mean you should take the car in and have it repaired. Nothing personal, but it takes years of training and experience to be any good at this. Every stock in-block cam engine I've ever worked has not been interference, which means there's no valve damage if the chain or belt breaks. So you can simply follow the repair procedure and replace the timing components. On an overhead valve engine that is not interference, again the timing belt or chain can be replaced - there shouldn't be any other damage. Now the fun part. If it is an interference engine and the engine was running when the belt or chain failed, it will likely need a few valves if not a cylinder head. You can determine if there was damage by a visual inspection or by performing a leakdown test on each cylinder with the camshaft bearing caps loosened and the valves closed. Obviously any damaged parts have to be replaced. If there was damage to any valves it is also important to measure the piston to deck height on each cylinder. It is possible to bend a connecting rod when the piston contacts a valve, especially if the valve head broke off and jammed in the cylinder (this also usually makes a nice crater in the piston). I've seen cylinder heads replaced where the tech neglected to take this measurement. It was only a matter of a couple hundred miles before the damaged connecting rod let go and caused catastrophic engine damage.

Is any programming or additional adjustments needed after a new egr valve is installed in a 2000 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder?

No but if there is still an EGR valve problem then its the EGR Valve switch located at the back of the motor. I replaced my EGR valve 2 times before I figured out it was the electrical switch, which had burnt up, for the egr valve. I havent had a problem with the EGR since then..
