1995 Grand Prix w/ Seized EGR valve

I really need a new EGR valve because after 4 years of "Service Engine Soon" coming on I decided to pull my EGR valve and inspect it's operation.

Besides being horribly carboned in most every way, I noted that 2 of the 3 pindles were completely seized and imposible to pry up, down, or out. The 3rd was quite sticky and after a good cleaning it did seem to work.

Anyway I need a replacement. Used and cheap. Any leads>?

thanks in advance!

No such thing as a cheap 3 solenoid EGR. The AC-Delco one wholesales for $246.79 (dealer cost is $210.69), and the el-cheapo brand from Zone/Advance runs over $210.

Re: 1995 Grand Prix w/ Seized EGR valve

Naw you can get an OEM GM original off Ebay for $99 shipped. I've seen them before used for under $40. I just don't see any for that price right now so I was hoping someone could help me out. But if everyone here thinks you can't get one for under $200 I guess I will keep searching myself.

Found a good deal on Ebay. $50 shipped for one that looks like it's just about brand new.

Re: 1995 Grand Prix w/ Seized EGR valve

In case anyone cares, the EGR valve from Ebay did the trick! I cleaned it good before I installed it just because it was used. The difference was very noticeable! I always thought my car ran fine even with the SES light on but I was obviously mistaken. The throttle response, pickup, and overall engine performance improved almost immediately!
