they are solonoids to send vacuum to different things at certain times. they are extreemly easy to fix. Post a wanted to buy in the FS/wanted section or hit the junk yards.
If you wanna know more about them download the factory manual. They are in the fuel section.

The solenoids should have Spade connectors on them.So If you are half handy with a Soldering iron,or get some Quick connect T connectors,Splice into the Wire near the connector and throw a Female spade connector on it.Then you are good to go.
If you broke the Solenoid.I can send you all 4 for 30 bucks shipped/

So you broke the vacuum lines on the Relief (blue) and EGR (yeller) solenoids.
Next time when you remove old hard vacuum lines, cut the hose on the solenoid with a razor blade in a vertical way so it'll come off easier. Replace the hoses with common vacuum hose found at the autostore.
Right now, plug the vacuum lines coming/going from each solenoid. Then buy a couple from the wreck yard and replace them.
The EGR one is mostly useless. I pass emissions yearly without a functional EGR valve. My nox #'s are close to zip, plus the series five don't even have a EGR. Tells you something.
The Relief needs to be replaced pretty soon. It contols whether or not the ACV supplys Port air to the exhaust prior to the catalytic converter. It's a converter killer after a couple of months (wild *** guess as to the time period).
All the solenoids are the same item but some are configured differently. You configure them right by pulling the small air filter off it's nipple and putting it on the proper nipple. Just make sure that the one you replace the broken ones is confiured right. Practiace by pulling the filter off one of the broke ones.

The "slice the hose" technique is commonly recommended and works OK for the metal spider lines but I found it awkward on the solenoids.
Instead, I cut the hose about an inch after the nipple and twisted, which quickly freed all my (rock hard) lines and didn't break any nipples.
Just a suggestion.
