Air diverter valve ?.

On the air diverter valve, there is 2 solenoids. Is there a place where you can just buy the solenoids or do you have to get the whole diverter valve? The black solenoid is bad on mine and since they are removable, I would think they would be available separate. The gray one tests good. I got the intake off my car and I figured I would test the diverter valve and the egr solenoids to see if they are still working. I don't want to buy the whole diverter valve new since they range from 250 to 500. I just need the one solenoid. I guess my best bet would be a junk yard but I thought I would ask first.

Re: Air diverter valve ?.

Can you read the part number off of the solenoid? I would imagine that it is available and that it was probably used on various applications, maybe for other purposes. You might be able to cross the part through someone like NAPA. The issue with NAPA or any other retail parts store is getting past the limited capability of the counter person to the companies actual parts listings, which are in fact vast. You will probably not find that part by application. Only by crossing the part number. Most parts stores will have the parts suppliers' catalogs which list a vast array of vacuum solenoids and will have a cross reference chart.

Standard Motor Products
Delphi
Remy(maybe)
AC Delco

These are a few of the aftermarket parts suppliers that may list that part.
