ERG Valve '93 854 ..... Am I nuts? 850

I think I finally went over the edge! I have been giving my '93 a good going over for my son (1993 854 127k mi). He has had problems starting it up. We finally traced it to the CMS. Great! I have had some time so I decided to change all the fluids, clean it up and make it sound and drive like it used to. I'm just out in the garage cleaning the flame trap assembly and puttin a new one in when I decide to take the throttle body off clean it up and while I'm in there clean up the EGR sensor and valve. I get the throttle body off and no EGR! None! the place where the 8mm bolts should be is there but its sealed off. no EGR valve no 22mm nut conecting the tube to the exhaust manifold. no sensor. no nothing. Am I crazy? I have set aside three days to replace the distributor, rotor, plugs, give it a good cleaning. Replace the CMS. etc etc I don't want to spend the time looking for my freakin' EGR. Where the hell did it go? I have a gasket for it but I don't have IT!

So far all my experience as a weekend grease monkey have been good. I'm slow but thorough. I like it. But when I look at my Haynes and then at Bay 13, and then at my baby I always see what's suppose to be there. Where is my freakin'EGR? I feel cheated. What am I going to do with my freakin' gasket?
Help. Time is running out. Where is my EGR? I want my EGR? ... I think!

Thank you to all who answered. I beginning to feel better. To tell you the truth the picture on Bay 13 of that 22mm nut and the inserted sensor looked like they would be tough to get out. If anyone needs a gasket send an email. I mail it to you.

You are not crazy, I also have a 93 and a 95 850's. The 93 do not have the EGR so don't bother looking for it.

Don't feel bad. While working on my 93 850 (early production 10/92) i decided to do the same thing. I ordered a throttle body gasket and an EGR gasket. Went out on a Saturday afternoon to do the work and found the same thing. No valve. If I am not mistaken, you can plan on not finding any other EGR related items like the Air pump and extra O2 sensors, your car should only have one.

Sit back and enjoy the time saved in not having to clean this system out.
