I know someone has had this problem. I'm troubleshooting fast idle on my 82 vette. Looking at all of the vacuum hoses and found that my EGR Solenoid has one of the plastic tips broken. How does this work? Where can I get one?
I’m going to plug the EGR vacuum input it from what I understand it is not need at idle. When the car warms up the idle should drop so if this is my problem I will know. Correct?

After the car has run a while the check engine light did
come one the code was 45 which was rich fuel at the Cat.
The tip that is broken on the Solenoid is the one that connects to the white
plastic connector. I may be able to repair that by rebuilding the
tip. I just do not know if this is a vent or if it is a vacuum source. Does someone have a picture of this that they
could up upload or send me so I could see if this is a vent or not.

In some states, emissions requirments are exempt after about 30 yrs. In other states these requirments are exempt for classic cars that have restricted mileage. My car becomes exempt in Feb. so i'm planning to pull all that poorly engineered junk off my car. All that stuff on that terrific small block was installed way before emissions technology+computers were developed to achieve what was truly needed. Our cars, along with all the other brands were the guinea-pigs of early emissions technology. So, should I feel guilty about returning my small block back to it's 60's glory..??? Until the feds stop exempting diesel trucks, busses and all other manner of hydrocarbon spewing machines, the emissions from my (natural) small block Vette is like a grain of sand in the vast universe. I refuse to feel guilty about my Vette when our lawmakers receive bribes to exempt others !!

I own a 1982 Collectors Edition that I'm having the engine completely rebuilt. Bad cam shaft, etc., etc.
Side connector on the EGR Solenoid was broken and am having difficulty finding a replacement. I can find one for a Chevy 350 but they say that they don't work on a 1982 Collectors Edition. Found one that looks like all the connectors fit but the bracket isn't correct. I've checked everywhere. Any ideas?
Did you check under Camero Z28. The crossfire are the same.
Just out of curiosity I looked up the 3rd gen Camaros and didn't see a 350ci engine on the option list until 1987 and it used the TPI fuel delivery system from the Corvette. Was the Camaro 305ci Crossfire the same system used on the Corvette 350ci?
Any EGR Solenoid I find for a GM 350 tells me that it will not work for an 1982 Corvette.
