I have been going round and round with 2 dealerships trying to buy the bracket for this solenoid and no one can seem to find it.
The car is a 96 formula
The bracket it held on by the same bolt that holds the right side of the coil. It has an electrical connection that is two pins and has a clip similar to those on the injectors (thin metal clip, push in to release the plug). It also has two vacuum connections one of which runs to the intake manifold and the other goes to the AIR valve. What is the name of this solenoid or better yet, does anyone have a part number, so I can reference it and get the bracket.

Thanks

 

I haven't had any emissions stuff for years, so I'm not sure what bolts on the right side of the coil. I just thought grounds bolted there, unless you are talking right side sitting in the driver's seat. Do you see it in this picture?



Look through here and see if you can find it.

Yep, I remember taking that off when I did my !AIR. I'll see if I can find it for ya.

 

It's the vacuum solenoid for the AIR system. Look lower center of this. Not sure if you can purchase just the bracket.

 

Thanks shoebox, I got the same name from Jeff95ta walk through, but neither dealership can find even the solenoid. Would it go by a different name?

 

This is the kind of thing you usually get from a junk yard. Even if the dealer can identify it, finding one for a 10yr old car! Good Luck.

 

That pic is right off a GM document. I don't know what else they would call it.

 

I figured as much. Thanks again, I think I will end up having to go to the junkyard.

 

An EGR vacuum solenoid might work also, not sure, but maybe.
You could find one on a Truck/SUV with a Vortec motor, prolly a lot easier to find one of those than an LT1 Fbod.

I'll look today and get back to you. I believe I have one in the garage.

 

Is this the bracket?
