.....And this is surprising you? You'll need to re-host the pic, as most people over here don't have a 3zc account, and you need to be logged in over there to view anyf*ckingthing, which is pretty ghey if you ask me.

Well my guess is that solenoid is either the EGR or AIV solenoid. Hard to tell because you have a lot of things out of place. if you are deleting both systems... you can completely remove those lines. Here are a few delete write ups for those systems:

Looks like the EGR solenoid, based on the hardline that it's connected to.

Not my car in the pics, its from a writeup. Yes i have deleted all unnecessary systems except for EGR(hard to get to without pulling engine.)
I just need to know where the green line goes since i DON'T HAVE that solenoid.

That line goes back to the EGR itself, the solenoid is in the hand. I believe you need the solenoid for the egr to work properly, cause if you directly connect it to an open vacuum line, the minute you give it any throttle it will die or act like a massive intake leak.

*I am not terribly sure what would happen if you just leave it disconnected, like no vacuum to the egr. I assume, if its like most vehiclesm, nothing will happen, no vacuum to open the egr, so it won't recirculate the exhaust gases. If you have emissions, It may fail.

Why don't you just leave the EGR solenoid in the car if your leaving the rest of the EGR system in the car?

found where it goes, its part of the pvr system that i neglected to re-route.
i want the egr out, less stuff under the hood = less clutter.
