Please Help Identify these Parts

I have not much more than a week to get my car to pass emissions. The NoOx gases were high, which I assume is an EGR problem, so I'm looking for the EGR, but let's look at these pictures.

1992 Eagle Summit Hatch ES 1.5L (Colt/Vista import)

1. What the heck is this big black box near the master brake cylinder with a vacuum line going to the intake manifold?

2. This thing kind of looks like an EGR (super small though) and it has a fuel line going directly into it, but it does have a line going to the intake manifold again so what is this??

3. If none of these are close the to the EGR where in this pic might I search?

Much obliged

happy new year:eek:

the first pic is the evap thing i think.
it takes evaporated gas from the tank.
not really sure how it works but this is emissions shit, so not many people do.


the second pic is definately a vaccuum diaphragm of some sort, but i have no idea what it is for.


best way to find the egr is to look on the intake manifold

theres a picture

Well figured out that that think with the hose is the BRAKE BOOSTER, figured this, but funny how it has a line going to the intake manifold (for vacuum suction I would assume!)

In terms of buying a new EGR, I was at Autozone and they told me they had one for $140, but every online place sells nothing but the gasket. Maybe if I can see one I would know what it looks like

cleaning it I'm sure would help

1) Brake Booster

2) Fuel Pressure Regulator

3) Not too sure on your car, however on Subarus the EGR lines run w/ the fuel send/return lines. Since you dont have a boxer motor these line(s) should go to a sensor type valve that runs to a nipple off the intake manifold. This line(s) come in from the gas tank and when certain conditions are met that valve sensor thing clicks open and the vacuum pressure from the manifold sucks the vapors from the tank. There should also be a bypass type dealy from the fuel tank to a black box under the rear of the car, that's the charcoal canister. Not that the last part has anything to do w/ your case, just fyi. ;)

Anyhow, I could be slightly wrong since I have a Suby and Subys tend to be engineered 'differently' than other manufacturers, but it all works in pretty much a similiar fashion.

If you took a closer, clear picture of the intake manifold it'd be easier to possibly point out.

my sources don't spell out exactly where the EGR valve is, but its definitely bolted directly to the intake manifold.

Keep in mind, its rare that the EGR valve is the failure, usually its something outside of it. Either a coked up pressure reference line, sticking solenoid or leaking diaghram in the tranducer (or whatever they call it for your manufacture....they each use a different name for it)

You need to test the system and find the problem.....assuming there is one
