Hey would anyone be able to tell me where to locate the EGR Valve on my 93 S13 and the Correct steps on how to clean it. Someone said to use break fluid... I just want to clean this thing off and set it back in.

look at the right side of the engine you will see a 1 inch diameter pipe connected to the exhaust--follow it up to a round looking valve --that is it. when they fail it is because they get clogged up with sooty, black junk--it is really hard to properly clean one out. they also go bad because of the little diaphragm stops working--if yours is bad I would get another rather than trying to clean it.

I removed mine and welded the opening from exhaust header and the engine itself.

Get one of those vacuum testers and see if you can get it to function. When the motor is running --actuate the valve and the motor should die down a bit. if it is working as soon as you release it it should return o normal.
