1984 - anyone know where to find an EGR solenoid???

I'm going to replace my EGR valve and thought it would make sense to replace the EGR solenoid too.

Can't find the EGR SOLENOID anywhere (prefer new).

Tips/advice???

Thanks.

Try getting one at Napa CRB 22275
sometime availability is sketchy though, but price is right at about $28.00. Also this solenoid was used in many other cars

Went into the Local NAPA store this morning and heard from the friendly clerk:

"YEAH, WE HAVE THIS PART NUMBER BUT I AM TELLING YOU NOW, NO NAPA STORE IN THE WORLD HAS THIS PART".

Great - this looks to be truly obsolete

Now what???

go to junk yard, get solenoid and connector from any GM car of any year(car has to have EGR valve). They can look different but work the same.

I am not sure that is the case some were positive vacuum at idle some negative depending on the car I believe I read that on here a while ago. But good luck in your search

Kinda knew it couldn't come off ANY GM vehicle - that just didn't compute.

I found one for my 1992 at NAPA Auto Parts. Guess, they stopped carrying them, huh?

dchoran

I have looked EVERYWHERE for a new one - not to be found on this planet

If anybody can find a NEW EGR solenoid IN STOCK, specifically for a 1984 Vette, I will Paypal you $20. You have my word.

Thanks.

Matt,

You are THE man

Thanks for finding that BRAND NEW EGR Solenoid.

Kinda pricey - I know. But I'm replacing things with NEW parts not used.

I owe you $20.

Send me your Paypal email address and $20 will be on the way!!!!!!!

Thanks again.

Now thats honesty

Dave sent me a PM offering me $20. As generous as that is, it took about 15 minutes of my time and I like finding weird things.

Consider it a friendly lead and you owe me a beer next time you're in Chicago.

Also, if anyone is looking for this in the future, the GM # is 1997125, the AC-Delco # is 214-333, and the Standard Motor Products # (discontinued) is VS29.

Thanks man.

I love Chicago and get down there periodically on business.

If I ever run into a guy in the windy city named Matt with a Vette, I'll by him an Old Style

A replacement for the 1984 needs to be normally closed. I used a solenoid from a 2000 Silverado, AC Delco #214-358. I got mine on Amazon for $16. I also ordered the connector PT374 (Amazon Prime $13). The solenoid can mount at a 90 degree position from the original with minor vacuum hose modifications.
