Myxalplyx Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Digging into the web of hard vacuum hoses, I was trying to complete a recent project looking for a certain hose to attach too. Amongst the hard, brittle tiny vacuum hoses, I tried to wriggle one free but it took a piece of something with it. Now, whatever this thing it was connected to has no way of connecting to it because the piece is broken off into the vacuum hose my finger is on. This thing the hose was attached to is located just to the right of the turbo inlet. What is this piece? *Jeopardy music sounds* :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 ERG control valve or Purge Canster control valve. Follow the hose in both directions and it will go to one or the other and the other end will be the vacuum source (manifold). Easy to find at the yards, just take your meter along and check the coil.

Phaedras Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 It's a solenoid thingy, it's almost identical to another solenoid whatsit. Seriously, isn't that the canister purge solenoid? Looks to be the EGR solenoid to the left of it, I just replaced one in my Sube today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi81 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Dude I have broken like three of those. Yes they are really brittle. I think it is the infamous egr silinoid. I was able to substitute a silinoid off of an older ea-81 car, had to change the electrical connector. Seemed to work then I found a real one in the junk yard and o so carefully installed it on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 don't worry, those are easy to come by. I had the one on my car die, and I replaced it with one scavenged off a cadilac. every fuel injected car has some of those, dont dare pay the $105 the dealer wants for it.

DrKrazy Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Yep broke 3 of those myself doing my engine swap, I now have stash of a few of them for future breakage..lol. Seems everytime I take my intake plenum off I snap one, but I re-routed the hoses a bit this last time to hopefully avoid it from now on.

Flowmastered87GL Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 $105 for the solenoid... you got ripped off :-p It cost me $86.25 at the subaru dealer here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garner Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 $105 for the solenoid... you got ripped off :-p It cost me $86.25 at the subaru dealer here $86.25 for a solenoid...I RIPPED MINE OFF and pluged the hole in the head. EGR is for lame-os (or people who live in places that have emmisions inspections....) viva la eugene garner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 or just block it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I broke one once. Mixed up some epoxy, put the tube back on and built up a reinforcing fillet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I used to go to the PAP and buy a handful of them for $5.. would usually end up with 1-2 good ones per handfull... Just used the last one a while back.. they break so easy, and the ones that aren't broken just die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I believe that one is the purge sol. I just broke a wire off mine. need to get it replaced. yeah Garner not only do I need mine for emisions but Im a lame O and like EGR valves too. But enough of my save the earth, granola lovin, tree huggin talk. they seem to work well with or with out em. I like the 91 loyal idea. GM parts are cheap.

Myxalplyx Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 I didn't know it was common practice to break one of these things. I took mine out this morning but I only have 1 minute to go before I get to work so..... Since I live at work, I don't have time to go to a junkyard. So, I'll order up a new one but try to search for the cheapest one. So this is an EGR solenoid I understand? Does anyone here have the part# for this thing? BTW: I misplaced all of my factory service manuals. I think my wife moved them and she's not admitting it. Arrrghhh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even need a p/n, the nice folks there look it up for you, just fill in the online form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 mine broke, so i just pluged the lines going to it, and my egr is welded up anyway. you dont have emissions laws out there do you? ditch that canister while your at it too =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tizzle Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 sort of old thread, but it applies to me. so, If I were to just block this portion of vacuum hosing off, would it cause any ill effects? not one, but 2 actually there's 3 the epoxy idea sounds pretty good though. NO way in hell am I paying $89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 i have blocked off several. leave the wiring hooked up. and plug the hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 i have blocked off several. leave the wiring hooked up. and plug the hoses. We should block mine off !_! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hush777 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Having broken lots of these I have started adding extra lengths of vacuum line and splicing in some more wire to move both solenoids to the pass strut tower where you can see them and deal with them in a better manner.
