Matt,

There is no vacuum to the valve at idle.  See my later
post.  Yes, I have the service manual.  I bought the
wrong EGR valve from Rockauto.  The replacement valves
are referenced by part number and I didn't have the
original part number.  I worked it out though by
re-using the old valve and backpressure diaphragm
which I had saved.
