Took the car 2the shop 2get the check engine light looked at. The OBD-I, scanner says its the EGR SOLENOID. Is that the EGR valve or is it referring 2the CANISTER PURGE VALVE SOLENOID? The mechanic pointed 2the EGR valve & said 2clean it first & see if that doesnt solve the prob. I think its the canister valve. Any suggestions, anyone?

MasterThere is a vacuum solenoid that opens the EGR valve, assuming the the correct code was retrieved. You can test this easily by driving the car with a vacuum gauge connected to the output side of the solenoid and seeing if the EGR vacuum solenoid is sending a signal to the valve, when you get up to about 20-25 mph.
