I'm having the same conditions that Oobnuker discribed on my 86 GL-10. Light throttle it feels like a miss or surge. Where is the EGR solenoid located? Dont mean to jack your post wjmgl10<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/grin.gif ALT=" >D">

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.. Both of mine have done that.. I guess I just have to keep flooring it.. have tried everything to make that little hesitation go away, But to no avail

On my SPFI, the EGR Solenoid is on top of the intake manifold just behind the thermostat housing.

 

I don't know what motor you've got, but a good rule of thumb would be that the solenoid is connected to the vacuum line that actuates the EGR valve...Find the valve, and follow the vacuum line...

Found the biggest problem today. Note, when I got the car it came with a bunch of new parts, which I installed.

One was a fuel filter, NIB. This was less than 3K ago also. Today the wife started to pull out of the driveway, and it just died. It would crank over fine, but no start.

Didnt smell any fuel, so I went straight to the filter. Took the line off the out end and it just dribbled out. To make sure it was the culprit I pulled off the in side, lots of pressure! I found the old filter and slapped it on, it started right up after a few seconds of cranking. No more hesitation, stuttering or missing either.

Oh, btw, the filter was a FRAM:mad: Granted there might have beed some garbage floating around in the tank after sitting for 4yrs, but it doesnt make me want to buy Fram products as a first choice. Not even for free either. Does anyone want a oil filter for an EA82T(came with the car)?

Free?
