Cross Compatibility of EGR Components? Options

[blickman]

Have a 94 ST Manual Transmission. Rebuilt 7A-FE engine. CEL pn and throwing code 071. EGR valve doesn't hold vacuum when I apply vacuum to see if engine stalls.

Looks like I need to replace the EGR valve and possibly EGR modulator. I'm wondering if either of these are cross compatible with other models? For some reason both of these are very expensive for this engine and cheaper for other engines.

For example, I've only been able to find used EGR valves for the automatic transmission, not the manual transmission. If I could use the one for the automatic, I can save a bunch of dough. Are these interchangeable even though they have different part numbers?

Likewise for the modulator. I've found aftermarket ones on Ebay very cheap for the GT 5S-FE engine. The ones listed for the ST 7A-FE engine are much more expensive. Anyone know if there's any difference between these or if they're interchangeable?

Thanks for any guidance on this.

IIRC if you put the 2 wire that go to the sensor in the egr it gets rid of the cel.

It does I know on OBDI cars as I put a jim clip into the EGR sensor plug when my modulator went out as I wasn't about to spend $80 on something that didn't matter in a non emissions state, but since he's in California even if it went unnoticed during the visual it might cause it to fail tailpipe testing.
