? about pinpoint test for code 33.

well, i got the pinpoint test for code 33 from ken about four months ago and FINALLY got around to testing it. it says to test the EGRC/EGRV (EGR Control/Vent) solenoids and this confused me. does that mean the EVR? if not where are the EGRC/EGRV solenoids?
another thing, on my EVR solenoid, is the vehicle harness plugs into a long black plug that then plugs into the EVR solenoid itself. what is the long black plug for? the harness plugs directly into the solenoid but i suppose the long black plug is there for a reason.
lastly, i tried applying vacuum to the egr valve itself but it would hold no vacuum. i had the engine off while i did this. isnt the egr valve suppose to hold vacuum?

my spring break is over soon so any quick advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

The EVR is the only solenoid in the system, so it has to be it.

I'm not sure about why the harness is that way.

The EGR valve is supposed to hold vacuum, yes.

i must have a defective egr valve then because it will hold absolutely NO vacuum, the gauge doesnt even go up the slightest bit and then leak down. i ruled out the vac pump so it isnt that. so the egr should hold vacuum no matter when you apply vacuum to it (engine on or engine off)? i will try to get pics of the connector for the evr.
