    How difficult is it to do this? I sold my Grand Prix GT a while back but now I'm thinking about buying a GTP I found on Craigslist because it seems to be a good deal. Just needs a new EGR valve.

    Nope haha, never even heard of one of these before even though I've done a decent amount of work on my old car myself. I suppose that's why I couldn't find anyone writing up how to do it

    If they say it needs one because of a code, ask for the code. More often than not, it's not a bad EGR.
