It is in side the trans on top of the valve body. Why do you think you need to replace it?

Under dash driver side look behind the upper arm of clutch pedal and you should see a green and black wire coming from the button (switch) assembly on the firewall. The wires go up above the clutch pedal. About in the middle of under dash on the left side you should see a white connector these wires run to. Disconnect. I just had the problem and not only starts now but not stalling like it was but it's only been one day but tested it pretty good.

Some ideas here, but most deal with NO crank, no start.

It is a highly complex vehicle, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose what electrics aren't working

07 cadillac dts 4.6 l northstar safety neutral switch location

safety neutral switch ??? It use to be called park neutral safety switch , now it's called Internal Mode Switch , location - inside the transmission .The transmission internal mode switch (IMS) is a multi-signal switch assembly attached to the lower control valve body. The IMS consists of a set of stationary contacts and a set of sliding contacts. The manual valve link assembly connects the sliding contacts to the manual valve. Electrically, the stationary contacts are connected to ground through the IMS ground circuit and the sliding contacts are connected to the transmission control module (TCM) through four IMS signal circuits. The signal voltage at the TCM is high, ignition voltage, when a signal circuit is open and low, 0 volts, when a signal circuit is closed to ground. Each gear selector position grounds one or more of the signal circuits in a unique pattern that enables the TCM to determine gear selector position.

Where is egr valve located on 2006 Cadillac DTS

I'm not familiar with your vehicle (I'm in the UK). However, the EGR valve is usually connect to the air intake.

Look for a 'unit' that is connected to the air intake via a tube.

Here's a link done with a general Google search for '2006 Cadillac DTS egr'. Hopefully you will recognise your own egr valve amongst the images:
