When mine trips, it’s on long flat roads with the cruise control on, resets shortly after turning the cruise control off. I’ll have to try cleaning it. I appreciate your work on this.
During my fun smog check journey, I also sprayed the crap out of my solenoid as well. I could bench test it and there was an audible difference when getting it to open and close with a 9 volt battery. It was much more instant after cleaning.....
Awesome video Dan, good tips here! Where did ya get the tiny little filter for the solenoid? Hope you've had a great summer, looking forward to be seeing what you'll do to the car in the winter!
The filter was on the VS25 solenoid that I bought. I just transferred it over. Now that I see it as just a piece of filter foam, I ought to be able to find a substitute. Not all foam will flow air, so I need to dig a little.
Where did you get your new egr solenoid. I have 350 tpi third gen but I can’t find the part anywhere and according to forums. It’s been discontinued. I tried cleaning mine, it didn’t work. Intermittent issue like yours
It is true that it is discontinued. I did some work to see if I could find a substitute that is still available, even if it might need some adaptation with brackets and connectors. This video shows what I found: th-cam.com/video/BXNh5jh6Iho/w-d-xo.html At my last check it is still on the market.
Thanks for the update. I'm going to try cleaning my Egr solenoid switch and see what happens . By the way my Iroc looks just like yours.
You're welcome, I hope it works.

Running on cruise is a good place to set the code because it will usually hold the throttle in the right range.

Thanks Mike, that's good feedback. Sorry to be slow responding-- been traveling a lot lately.
