`90 L98 Vert. Service Engine Light would come on after about 15 minutes of
driving. Any time I would turn off the engine, it would reset. Comes right
back on when it warms up. Took it to local Firestone. They said my EGR
valve was badly stuck. Said if I continue to drive as is, the Cats would
eventually load up with Carbon. They want $450!!! I think this is a bit
excessive. Is there something about an L98 that makes this a difficult job?
From doing some searches, looks like the going rate for the valve is around
$70.
Thanks for your input.

Dunno about space issues on a `90, but I did the one on our `95 in about
a half hour and that included waiting for the flat black paint to dry,
because the replacement was cadmium plated and the original was flat
black. I believe I gave about $65 for the valve at NAPA, so $70 is about
right. Firestone will charge you dealer retail for the valve, so
figure they will get what, maybe $140 for the valve, plus all the
"nickle and dime" stuff like handy wipes and environmental disposal, and
what ever other charges they can pad the bottom line with. Just make
sure you get a clean gasket surface before you bolt it up.
