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

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.
