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.....
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.
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: ruclips.net/video/BXNh5jh6Iho/видео.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.

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