Thanks for all the help so far. The 35 CEL stopped showing up, and it was just 34. I figured out which of the solenoids this is, and wired up a resistor, and it worked. The CEL is off now. Unfortunately, I just took it in to get smogged, and failed. My Hydro Carbons were too high. I'm assuming that this is at least attributable to not having a functioning EGR solenoid. California has a program to help get cars up to emissions standards, so I think I'll be putting it in someone else's hands at this point (after I take of my rigged up resistor). If I find out more on the problem, I'll post it here. Again, thanks for the suggestions. -Ross

Thanks for the quick response. I've replaced both solenoids a few times with used ones from pick-n-pull. I'm not positive they were all good, but I assumed law of averages that they wouldn't all be bad. Would the resistors just connect between the two fins on the plug that connects in to the solenoids. Right now, I just want to get the light off and get it to pass smog. Thanks again for the help.

I have a 1990 Loyale, non-turbo. The CEL has come on, giving the codes 34 EGR Solenoid or Circuit 35 Purge Control Solenoid or Circuit I have replaced both of these solenoids, and the EGR valve, and the CEL stays on. I have reset the CEL, both with the connectors under the hood, and by disconnecting the battery. The CEL goes out, and comes back on a few minutes later. The problem started out with just code 34, but now comes up with both codes. I have checked all of the lines, and everything seems connected and in good condition. I'm wondering if there is any other part of the engine that will trigger these codes. I am past due getting it smogged and registered, and would appreciate any help figuring out the problem. Thanks
