The EGR solenoid (4) is mounted to a bracket attached to the battery tray in the engine compartment. The EGR solenoid serves two different functions. One is to control vacuum bleed-off of the EGR valve. The other is to control the "on time" of the EGR valve.
Removal
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.

Description, Operation
DESCRIPTION
The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the engine exhaust. This
is accomplished by allowing a
predetermined amount of hot exhaust gas to recirculate and dilute the incoming ...
