    So there is a plastic "diaphragm" with vacuum lines that run through it hooking up to my egr.

    O'rielys auto parts had no clue what it was, or where to locate it.
    so i typed the numbers off of it into google (idk what it was. something like ###### egr VM)

    i found out that this is a vacuum check valve/ vacuum monitor

    long story short i need to locate a new one. mine is shot and that is the source of my vacuum leak:cry::cry:

    any body have one

    i have already tried NAPA, baxters, carquest and o'rielys

    thnks guys

    I have a TON of parts that are hitting the dump monday morning. If you find it in the pile, it's all yours. My EGR got removed. no idea if mine works if I do have it. Got a pic? I could see if I have it tonight after work and let you know.

    Here is what I did.
    Took a piece of cardboard outlined the facing, transferred it to a piece of 1/8 steel, cut and ground a plate to cover the hole. Works "Great" and no more leaking, sticking EGR. Just remember to use a high temp type gasket under the plate.
