I read that without it the solenoid can get clogged with dirt and cause problems. Jegs got me a new AC Delco one for 99 cents and I glued it on. (P/N 219-13)

These solenoids are way too expensive to allow to fail over such an amazingly inexpensive fix.
This EGR solenoid filter also applies to carbureted Dodges. Not knowing the filters were still commercially available, I made my own filter out of lawn mower air filter green foam, figuring if it could survive long term oil saturation, it should survive in EGR duty. So far so good, at about 8 years and counting.

I had EGR problems in 2002 and later on the solenoid went out too. | | | Re: EGR Solenoid Filter | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 | Good to know these are still available. | | | Re: EGR Solenoid Filter | Joined: Jan 2021 Posts: 37 Likes: 1 newbie | newbie Joined: Jan 2021 Posts: 37 Likes: 1 | I'd love to see a picture of this... There's a small vacuum hose coming up on the front side of my airfilter that's not connecting to anything, maybe that's part of the egr filter?
Either way, sounds like a reasonable fix. Might help my 13mpg... | | |
