The Haynes manual is unfortunately riddled with European components/systems not on our North American cars. Give me a page/figure reference and I'll have a look.
The '97 Ford manual has no such device shown for either engine.
p.s. My fan ?
p.p.s. ATX or MTX?
Edit: OK I've found it, seems to be a misnomer for the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid. Follow the vacuum hose from EGR valve and it should go to this device.
