Matthewboerner Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 When I was installing my intake manifold and connecting vacuum lines I accidently broke off a small section of hose that has a one way check valve on it, that went to a small (1.5 inch square) box that has two wires to it. I Curios what it is and if I might be able to use one off an 85/86 intake where as mine is an 87? Or could I carefully glue the nipple fitting back on and call it good? Here are some pics.. The best I could get for now sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Its a solenoid valve, part of the EGR system. You can use one off of your other intake. Just be careful, they are usually pretty brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthewboerner Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Ok I will get the one off the older intake manifold, it looks to have the same line size and plug-in, it does look a little bit different though. Thank you for your help. -matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthewboerner Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 So I was able to get a couple better pictures of the solenoid box. It has two hoses on it and two wires coming off it. I was able to glue it back together seems to be an ok fix. What does it do? If it breaks loose again while im driving will it die or run rich/lean? Does anyone have a part number or exact name for it? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I've heard it being called the "EGR Purge Solenoid" you have the dealer look at the EGR system for the EA82 and it'll bring it up on the screen. You can bypass it with a (33ohm resister) I think its 33ohm. Anyone else have a refresher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 It should not effect drivability. The EGR system only operates in low load situations anyways. worst thing that could happen is with it not connected, the EGR wouldn't open and it would fail emissions testing. It should be fixed but it won't leave you stranded or anything like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a part number or exact name for it? Thank you It controls the EGR valve by controlling the vacuum supply. If it breaks loose again,engine will be lean and may ping because of the inoperative EGR/leanness. (Plug the vac lines to cure the vac leak)) Need car details for a part #.

Matthewboerner Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 It's an 87 gl-10 with the ea82t. I feels like I should just replace it asap so I dont run into issues down the road. Thanks for the help and the part number now that I filled you in on the car details . -matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) The 2nd one is for the 4WD. At least on a push botton 4WD car, but that only applies for the SPFI N/A EA82 (Not the EA82 Turbo) Edited February 18, 2011 by TheLoyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthewboerner Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Yeah I have both of those two solenoids close togeter also, the other has a little snorkel lookin thing off one side, that's the 4wd engagement one that The Loyal was speaking of. My car is a push button 5 speed. I'm hoping to get my engine installed in the next couple days so I'll see if my patch of the egr solenoid worked for now. If I venture to the dealership I'll try to have them look up that part number and post it up here for you SB.

NorthWet Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 You can also, with a little work, adapt more durable solenoids from other vehicles. The "original" (AFAIK) person who suggested this (DaveT) said that you could use Toyota solenoids, and a later contributor (91Loyale) said that many of the EFI cars from the 80's will likely have something that works. http://home.comcast.net/~davidtief/solenoid.htm http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I suggest you do what you can to find a suitable replacement for that solenoid instead of buying a new one. You would not believe the cost of a new one from a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine solinoid vac line is still not connected but no CEL, now that it is running. Should I just leave it alone? Or attempt to source one from A JY? Bypass? Early thanks! Danny88gl - I would check look at your and see if its disconnected or damaged, they are very fragile so be careful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK2H Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Cheapest I found this part is here, if anyone wants to replace... Solenoid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 That's a pretty good price SK2H. I found out how easy these solenoids will break after time. The dealer charged me well over 100 dollars for a replacement solenoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
