I'm trying to figure out a problem on a friend's '03-- it has a whistling sound from under the hood while driving that I thought was from a vacuum leak. I disconnected the vacuum tree from the intake manifold and connected a vacuum pump to each of the lines that go off of it.
I was able to hold vacuum on all of them except for the one that goes to the EGR solenoid. I checked the line that goes to the solenoid and it is fine-- it seems the solenoid itself is not holding vacuum (this is with the engine off). The problem is, I don't know if it should be. Can someone tell me if this is normal or if it means the EGR solenoid valve needs to be replaced?
There are no codes by the way.
Thanks!
