Default What is it?
My first Corvette 82 C3 CE. 81k mi. Runs and drives great. I found this when I popped the hood . No idea what it is or if I should worry about it.





Located on passenger side just rear of the air cleaner. THANKS

Looks like the electronic solenoid for the EGR.

It is the EGR control solenoid. The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recycle) valve. The EGR is controlled by the ECM and allows exhaust to enter the intake manifold to aid in cooling the combustion process, supposedly lowering NOx emissions.
I have my valve blocked and disconnected. The EGR valve is the round thing next to the solenoid.
If your state requires emission inspections you may have to get it repaired.
