Re: wire

You talking about the EGR solenoid? Little electric motor looking thing with a bracket?

A wire? gotta picture offhand?

Re: wire

being your car is a 89 you can look at your car and know what im talking about. look at your EGR valve, there will be a nut that screws into it and then there is this wire with a threaded fitting crimped on that screws into that nut on the EGR . the wire has a plug like an o2 sensor near the dizzy.

Re: wire

Ah yes, it screws into the base of the EGR valve and travels to the
the dizzy area as mentioned correct? I can barely see out there in the
dark.

You could try and see if that is an accessory offered at NAPA or Carquest,
Im trying to track down the actual term for the part right now, Im sure GM
parts, a good local parts store or worse yet a junkyard would have one.

You might be screwed.... found this a few threads down, it might be junkyard time.
