In a 2002 Chevy 5.3 engine, the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve can sometimes be replaced with an EGR delete kit, which eliminates the EGR system altogether. This modification is typically done to improve performance or reduce carbon buildup but may not be legal for street use due to emissions regulations. Alternatively, if the EGR valve is simply malfunctioning, it can be replaced with a new or refurbished valve to restore the original emissions control functionality. Always check local laws before making such modifications.
There is no EGR valve on the 2002 4.3L (code W)
2002 5.3 Chevy don't have egr valves factory removed them in 2002
From what I been reading there is no egr on this engine.
Don't assume that a code that is related to the EGR system is necessarily the EGR Valve at fault.
The 2002 Mercury Mountaineer EGR valve can be found in the engine compartment, on the firewall. The EGR valve will be labeled as such.
Dodge was able to meet the emission requirements with out an EGR valve. Nothing replaced it.
where do I find the egr valve on a 1999 Chevy Cavalier?

The EGR valve is connected above the water hose on the 2002 Mazda Millennia. The EGR valve is responsible for lowering the temperature of the fuel.
A 2002 Ram does not have EGR.
A faulty EGR valve can cause a 98 Chevy to fail a smog test. The oxygen sensors should also be tested as they can also cause a 98 Chevy to fail a smog test.
The 2002 4.3L has an EGR valve, at least mine does.
