You are not going to get any vacuum out of the EVR until the engine is warm and at mid throttle.

The computer pin grounds the wire to the EVR to send vacuum on.
You should have a red wire that has 12 Volts (battery voltage) at all times the key is on.
If you ground the other wire it should send vacuum on to the EGR valve.
Do not ground form more than second at a time or you can burn its coil out or so I am told.
The computer is not a zero ohms to ground as there is some resistance in the transistor that grounds the EVR wire.

Then the EVR is working.
One guy said on here that it will not ground the EVR until you are rolling down the road all so. I do not know how fast you have to be going but I would guess if this is true about 30+ MPH.
If still does not ground it then maybe bad ECT sensor, TPS or computer.

No this is not true. It will only burn if the computer is grounding the wire to the EVR.

You should have 12 volts on both sides unless the computer is grounding it.
Sounds like the computer is grounding the wire.
Sounds like a bad EVR or bad vacuum lines.

The computer 5 volt supply does not go to the EVR solenoid.
The computer just grounds pin #33.
The 12 volt power to the EVR comes from the power relay.
