-- Joe | No cat on the car and since I have added headers and a new O2 sensor. I would love to scan my car but my laptop and car will not talk to each other I belive the serial port is shot because with a different software and the correct cable for it it still will not scan the wifes Grand Prix.
Traxion I just thought by the posts I had read that it would pull large amounts of fuel I guess I missunderstood.
And does anybody know anything about the egr code at 70 MPH because I have the same problem along with two other members of my car club and none of us can figure out why. | |

| after doing headers, no cats, new catback, new o2 sensor, new tune up first time on the highway my car was fine on the way back a long trip bam ses light on, sure enough code for egr (32)
i dont go on many long crusing trips so i dont really feel the need to fix it, buts it still sucks to see it come on. | |

| Why would you bother Burning a Chipjust to get rid of an SES Light???
Better performance i could see....
Engine sawp requiring new setting's i could see....
But an SES light....Pluse removing the AIR system shouldn't throw code any way......
I wasn't saying your stupid just that your idea was a bit x-streme

I wasn't saying your stupid just that your idea was a bit x-streme | If you read the whole post you'd see my reply was in relation to those guys with EGR codes ... which do happen. My idea is only extreme in the sense of buying chip stuff specifically for curing a code. However, once you start doing your own chips you realize how valuable it is and you will do more than just cure a code. I don't see how people spend thousands on performance parts yet won't spend $200 to program their own chip. My objective is simple. My goal is to get people started programming their own chips because it's not difficult ... and in the long run they will be much happier and have more power.

Car: 91 Camaro Vert Engine: 02 LS1, HX40 Transmission: 2002 LS1 M6 | i think i solved our seemingly random sustained crusing problem...
i already had a new EGR, and that SEEMED to solve it for a lil while, but now its back..
i think whats happening is the EGR vacuum solenoid slowly cloggs up... it works, but it just flows less air....
so when you put a new EGR in, its more "efficent" at moving, and it works right for a lil while.. but once it breaks in, it has the same problem as before..... of course this only happens at a high speed cruise because the vacuum is just a lil lower then at a lower speed cruise... enough that the computer doesnt see what it expects....
anyhoo, thats my THEORY on it.... replacing the vac 'noid did fix my problem... $13 vs $35-$45 for a EGR.. worth a shot.... its right there so if that didnt fix it, you can swap back, and return it for the $13 for your EGR. | |

| Have you checked the vacume line's On my 87 Z-28 i had it had a colapsed Vac line.
The New EGR would work for a little while then it would act up so then I replaced the solenoid & EGR it still did it Turn's out a weak vacume line would slowly colapse in it's self.......
Check for oily mushy line's dryed stiff cracked line's........
I hope you the best of Luck Guy.........
