My wife has a '96 200SX S-ER with the 2.0L engine, manual, A/C... Her
check engine light came on and problem code specified the EGR system, but
not which specific part. I started with replacing the cheapest part first,
the BPT Valve, and reset the check engine light. This worked for a few
weeks and then the lighht came back on. I then decided to replace the
next most expensive part, the EGRC solenoid. I have now checked 6
different EGRC Solenoids and none of them fit this car. What do I need to
do to get the correct EGRC solenoid for this car? And, does anyone know
of a way to test an EGRC to see if it is the problem? Seems simple enough,
test continuity across the contacts, pull a vacuum on the correct port and
verify change in continuity... I have also bought the EGR Valve and will
replace that. I am at a loss over the EGRC Solenoid- Nissan Dealer has no
clue as to what the correct part should be.

Thanks for your help.

Have you checked for carbon buildup in all of the lines from the exhaust
manifold and around the egr valve itself? On my 94 Altima the hose running
to the EGR valve was plugged up with carbon and the passages in the intake
manifold as well as the valve itself were very dirty.
