91 Loyale EGR Solenoid


Recommended Posts

I've checked all the local JYs and come up with zip. Really don't want to pay dealer price for one. Does anyone have a good, reasonbly priced source for these?

 

A li'l sidebar, these must be a high failure item because every wreck I checked either had a broken one in it or it was gone. Funny thing, the same goes for my '85 Ford F-250. Needed the same part for it and found the same situation. Finally broke down and bought a new one from Shucks for about $120!! Still was far cheaper than dealer price. Unfortunately, they don't carry them for Soobies.

Funny thing... I was just looking for one last week. Checked JY's and no dice. However... I did post what I was looking for in the marketplace and a board member had a good one in his garage. I'm well on my way to being saved.

 

So, you might try that approach.

 

Also: there is a guy in Puerto Rico who is junking a few old soobs. He lists a car for scrap on ebay for like 10 bucks... (just search Subaru Loyale and scroll down) his gimmick is to email him the part you need and he'll let you know if he has it and you can work out the price. I don't know much about him, but having lived in Pto Rico, I know there are "junkers" everywhere out in the country, and not many people seem to appreciate an old soob... I gues that's why they're sitting in his yard... At any rate, in my search for an EGR Solenoid I contacted him and he claims to have one and offered it to me for $15. Since someone else helped me out with the part, I didn't follow up to make sure it was the solenoid and not the valve that he had for sale... also, it didn't seem as though it had been tested, though he did say the engine ran (but it will run with a bad solenoid).

 

So, you might also check his eBay listing, or PM me and I can send you the contact info for him. I'm not endorsing this guy by any means...I haven't done any business with him, though I am keeping him in mind for future parts needs. Just make sure he has a good idea of what you're after...

 

Good luck.

dangit... knew I should've grabbed more than one while I was at the junkyard back home... the junkyard down here is out of them.

 

Another option though... I know the junkyard down here has purge control solenoids. They're the same thing, but with a different connector on it. If you really need one I'm sure we could work something out :brow:

 

 

on the other hand, I could sell you the one out of my car, since the CEL still throws the code for bad solenoid, even though it isn't :banghead: (yes, I've cleared the codes, etc, it still comes on... grr)
