1997 Es300 Egr Part Identification

[newbie_lexus_es300lover]

hello all, I'm new here and need some knowledge about my wonderful car. I recently bought this Lexus ES300 and was loving it until my check engine light came on! I took it to an auto shop that told me the codes were an EGR malfunction, but they could not tell me exactly what they were. At first i thought I'd needed a new EGR valve or a new EGR sensor but then, looking under the hood, I saw this vacuum line going from the EGR valve to under the manifold cover with a check valve of some sort in between. Well the check valve was broken on one end probably not sending a signal to the EGR, setting off the check engine light? I have checked many auto part stores with no success, is this a part i can only get at a Toyota dealer? Or is it a simple generic check valve i can buy? any part name or number or location i can get would be greatly appreciated,thank you for any help you can give.

that is nothing but vacuum tube. the big round piece is hollow cylinder.

Lexus or toyota dealer will sell you for $26.

Try using direct vacuum tube. Go to orially, autozone.

Hope that helps.

Reason you have CEL. because of that vac. tube goes to EGR.

O ok see i thought that cylinder did something. If it is hollow i will directly connect the vacuum tube and see what that does , Thankyou
