niles24 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Where is the purge solenoid located on a 94 loyale? spfi 5sp 105,xxx miles Thanks in advance for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) EGR Purge solenoid? Follow the vac line from the EGR and it will lead you to its solenoid as its right under the intake on your left. Has a big white two pin connector. Looks like this: Hope this helps.

cookie1 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 there are 2 of them under the intake just follow the line from the egr to the correct one, the have diff plugs on them Mine went bad and i found a used one with wrong plug just rewired it and has been good for the past 4 yrs.

niles24 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Awesome thanks guys. Pulled a code 35 so i am going in to check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niles24 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Found it and removed it. How would i go about testing to see if it still works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Code 35 is exactly for the solenoid, most likely it does not work anymore. You can on the other hand get a new one from Carquest like I did, its about $50. Or you can just leave it and drive as is, it doesn't affect the running of the engine. You could test the Resistance and see what it shows, I'm not sure how much resistance it should have, anyone else know? Also, like Cookie1 said, there are two of them. One is for the EGR, and the other is for the 4WD, you will notice the vac line on the other runs down to the trans mission (At least on the 3AT) Cheers.

niles24 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hey thanks. took it out, tested it and it is fine, read 38 on a ohms meter. i checked the engine codes again and now it reads 32 and 33... (when i was taking off the solenoid i noticed that the hose wasn't all the way on so that is probably why that code came up...) now on to the next one...my car runs fine until i start to go up a very long hill then the check engine light comes on and it is like the engine is choked and it looses a lot of power and bucks a little bit. so that is why i am chasing codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Complete list of every code a SPFI EA82 can thow: 11 Crank angle sensor or circuit12 Starter switch or circuit 13 Crank angle sensor or circuit 14 Fuel Injector - Abnormal output 21 Coolant Temp Sensor or circuit 23 Air flow meter or circuit 24 Air control valve or circuit 31 Throttle Position sensor 32 Oxygen Sensor 33 Vehicle speed sensor 34 EGR Solenoid or circuit 35 EGR Purge control solenoid 42 Idle switch 45 Kick-down control relay (Automatic) 51 Neutral switch continuously in the on position 55 EGR Temp sensor 61 Parking switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niles24 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 thanks for the list. I recently replaced the o2 sensor so i am pretty sure that is not it. Would a bad VSS possibly cause the symptoms i described earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a bad VSS possibly cause the symptoms i described earlier? Possibly. Just remember, sometimes another sensor can fail and make other codes trigger without even being the issue. Like with my Legacy, I had codes for Knock, Cam and Crank sensors. I replaced the Cam and Crank sensors and the Knock sensor went away. If you want, try cleaning your Mass Airflow Sensor on the airbox. Use some electrical spray cleaner and mist down the little tong inside. Might take away your lack of power. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie1 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Clear all codes and drive it some and see if you get a cel. Even if you dont get a cel check the codes in memory. Ive cleared codes and had no cel come on but then checked the memory codes and had some. Kinda weird but it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
