Where is the EGR valve on the 3800 Series I ?

[Ryan]

My 92 Bonneville has been having running problems. I'd like to check
the EGR valve, but I have no idea where it's at. Can someone describe
the location for me? This car has the 3800 Series I engine, no
supercharger.

Also if someone can tell me where the PCV valve is I would appriciate
that, too.

Thanks,

Believe it or not the 92 does not have an EGR valve ! It was eliminated
for 92 & possibly 93, something to do with the emission numbers being so
low at the time GM felt they could do away with it. But the EGR returned
again in 94 ( or was it 93 ? ) because cars withou the EGR were running
poorly.

The PCV Valve on my 91 is in the end of the intake manifold on the
pasenger side. There is a routing of ignition wires & some other wire
harness covering it up. Look directly behind the Altenator and to the
left.

When my car was newer I'd swing the Altenator out of the way to acess
the PCV, but now I've done some wire re- routing and its a bit easier to
reach.

The spring clamp from the L shape hose to the PCV is a strggle to get on
& off.

Good Luck

Mine 1993, 3.8 L engine has EGR valve. 1992 does not have EGR valve for
sure.
