I took my 02 Milly S to my mechanic for the vacuum issues everyone seems to have, he just called me and told me that 2 of my solenoids are bad one being the vacumm soleniod (or something close to that), my question is does this seem right, I myself have checked the vacuum lines, EGR Valve, Mass Air Flow, Throttle Body, the ony thing I could find was a burned tee over by the ABV Solenoid. The mechanic told me that this was a start and could not guarantee this was going to fix the problem, but that hey needed to be replaced before he went any further, I believe he could not find anything else with the vacuum lines or could not tell before theses solenoids were replaced. The other solenoid I have no idea what it is. Anyway any input would be helpful.

 

what codes were there? this is important

 

There was a bunch, I know it throwing codes for the EGR Valve, Left Bank 02 sensor, something with the ABV Solenoid, and some others, I am sorry I am no help, I gave my print off from Autozone to my mechanic, so he has the codes that thrown and my car, he did tell me that all those codes can be directly related to the vacuum leak, he has worked on these before and knew exactly what I was talking about when I described my issue. Sorry I could not be more help as far as the numbers, I'll try and get those and post it on here.
Thanks

 

for some reason, i cannot post a long answer. email me, and i will tell you what is happening

 

OK I got the car back and the mechanic replaced my vacuum solenoid and ABV solenoid, I have driven for a couple of days now, and no problems. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks for your help Keninn

 

i believe this is an inherent problem for the 2.3, and it will happen to all of them.
