So I've been experiencing some "fluttering" recently. Once the car warms up it flutters or jerks (slightly) when holding the speed at about 40mph (1700 rpm.)

I removed the hose from the EGR valve and plugged it and that made the fluttering go away when driving it so I figured the problem was probably the EGR valve or ports ... so I purchased a vacuum pressure gauge to test it.

When I hook it up to the valve and apply vacuum, the engine sputters so I figured the valve and ports are working properly.

When I hook the gauge up to the hose (instead of the valve) and increase the rpms to about 2000 or so, the gauge registers vacuum for a split second and then drops to zero. This makes me think my solonoid (located in the control box) is bad.

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to mechanics so I'm probably missing something. Any thoughts on this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
