It is on the firewall just behind the engine, to replace it you need to detach the vacuum hose, remove the two EGR valve mounting bolts, remove the EGR valve from the intake manifold and then put in the new one.

5. Remove the mounting bolts and the EGR valve from the engine.
   
6. Clean the mating surfaces on the valve and the engine. Make sure to remove all gasket material.

SOURCE: p0401 egr flow insufficient

The EGR valve is usually to the right side of motor triangular shape which has 3 screws.There is a metal pipe coming underneath which send excess "smoke" thro it. It tends to carbon up so needs to be cleaned.There are also 3 "pintle valves" on springs inside and the springs could be weakened/carboned up causing the valves to remain open/shut.
