alright, im tryin to get my egr valve hooked up correctly so that it works. i found out that you cannot just run a vacuum line to it after i looked in my haynes manual and noticed that there is a egr vacuum solenoid. well, i took that out a long time ago when i was taking out all the stuff for the a/c. i still have both the solenoid things that came off the passenger side shock tower, i just need to know how to run the vacuum lines to make the egr valve work properly. pictures would help out a ton. thanks

awesome, thanks jrichker. i knew you would have something

edit: one more question....does it matter which line goes from the egr vacuum regulator to the egr valve and to the manifold vacuum hook up?

hooked it all up according to the diagram and it doesnt have a rough idle like it used to. i left the negative battery cable unhooked for 30 minutes so hopefully that reset the computer. thanks again
