In chasing my EGR code on my 2001 sport 3.0L... a question regarding whether the routing is right on mine came up on another thread.

The question is buried 5 pages deep and i fear it will not be seen, so i figure i should ask specifically in a new thread.
The question is related to the EVAP solenoid... Colted found the routing to be opposite mine, as did JVDV8.
is the one with the colors a pic of your actual engine?.......the center nipple hose from the egr modulator was consistent with mine, it goes to the E port.....but noticed that bigger hose that is connected to another valve (not sure the name is) next to the egr solenoid valve, yours was going back to metal tubing that goes downward to the engine driver's side, mine goes back to the top nipple of the plenum.....I never messed with that and hope somebody can check & chime in.....do you also know what that big circular valve on top is?

Red circle is the egr valve and the green is for the cruise control.
Colted has a 3.5 though. Then Colted found another sport in the sparkplug tutorial. Also opposite of mine.
Here was my observation and questions.
I well this definately proves mine has been swapped... however... notice the solenoids are different as well. Interesting. Maybe a new thread is needed to clear this finding up.
Here is mine...

And the sport from the tutorial...

ok what the heck is the big bulbous thing in the vacuum line that runs to the drivers side. Sitting next to the egr in this pic. Mine does not have it. Should it? Is it a check valve so the air only goes 1 way?

hey Red,
is the one with the colors a pic of your actual engine?.......the center nipple hose from the egr modulator was consistent with mine, it goes to the E port.....but noticed that bigger hose that is connected to another valve (not sure the name is) next to the egr solenoid valve, yours was going back to metal tubing that goes downward to the engine driver's side, mine goes back to the top nipple of the plenum.....I never messed with that and hope somebody can check & chime in.....do you also know what that big circular valve on top is?

Red....mine's a 3.5 XLS 02, yours?......think your engine is the same on this one on a DIY thread.....link.......the bigger hose was run the same as mine, could be your P0401 solution....

Ah... i forgot you have the 3.5... mine is the 3.0
