Folks:

My CEL keeps coming on with an insufficient EGR flow code. I am pretty sure the cause is the EGR solenoid is missing a vac connection due to the vac nipple being broken off.

Can someone please confirm that this is the EGR solenoid and that it is supposed to have 2 vac connections?

It is located under the intake manifold...

Thanks

Yes. That will cause that code.
The EGR valve is located below the throttle body and has two lines going to it. If they go to that solenoid then you definietly have your culprit. It's been awhile so I can't look at the picture and say 100% that that is the EGR solenoid but I'd say 99%.

 

thanks , ive had the same prob for a while

 

It's the one one the bottom, the valve is on the left.

 

I cannot really tell much from that picture :-/

I am looking for confirmation that the pictured solenoid is for the EGR system and that it has 2 vac connections....

Please?

 

Yea that's it. It has the yellow, white and green vac lines.

 

Because of this picture I know why I keep getting the CEL! THANKS!
(No HOMO) My Nipple was broken off on the Solinod(sp?) On the right side Oh Boy!

 

Yes if its the one on the intake manifold bracket is the EGR Vaccum Regulator Solenoid. It controls the vaccum for the EGR valve. It cost about 70.00 at mitsu dealer.

 

i had same problem to found that mine some how was cracked think it was like $94 installed
