Awdsome001 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hey guys! Just need a little help identifying a solenoid to order a replacement. I can't tell if it's the egr solenoid or the purge or what to find a part number. https://photos.app.goo.gl/L7jeCYzfY1yRFPEF9 Couldn't figure out to upload photos, so there's a Google album with the pics. My big confusion is that the connector for it is different than the one that pulls up. A part number would be awesome as I broke the plastic valve.

jono Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Is it one that has a vent cap or no vent cap like a sealed circuit whether on or not? What model car anyway? People have founToyota and Mitsubishi to be good donors. They are pretty basic other than vented or not vented May need to make wires to bridge between new solenoid wires and car loom plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awdsome001 Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Sorry about that! It's an '87 RX-Turbo. It's the non vented cap. Pictures in the link below of the removed solenoid. https://photos.app.goo.gl/8iYph4JTwsPrGXyV9 I think it's the EGR Solenoid, but not 100% certain of it. I ordered the Hitachi one from Amazon, but now have to swap the plugs correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Lucky for you it lasted this long and you found new on amazon. I got mine from EA82 carby model for my flat manifold GLTA built in '85....12 years ago. Depending on which country the egr solenoid only activated by ECU below 45 kph and only then at operating temp and of course only with manifold vacuum. This wasfirst and only fault code I got to read and fix on that car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awdsome001 Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Haha yeah, it surprised me too, as I usually break these every time I pull a motor.... It's like a curse. To be fair though, the car only has 89K miles on it. Not a bad buy for $250 because it needed a "head gasket." Turns out someone snapped the intake mani bolt by the coolant passage. I pulled the motor, tore it down, cleaned it, (repeat that last step like 15 times), and am reassembling it now to put it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 First EA82T? You ain't the only one to snap them just by looking at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The OEM ones were easy to break. And they fail. My solution:http://www.dynahoedave.co.nf/solenoid.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awdsome001 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Jono: Definitely my first EA82, let alone EA82T. That and the knock sensor. Same thing happens with the EJ's though... :'( Dave T: Great write up! Thanks for the info, definitely will be referencing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
