Hey guys - I'm finally getting some miles on my car and now this little quirk is showing up, please throw me a line if you can shed any light on it.

Two days ago on the way home from church, chugging along in 5th doing like 1700 rpm I got a code 32 (EGR) so I pulled my EGR off, cleaned it as the Haynes manual says (smack it w/a hammer and work the diaphram) and reinstalled it. Took it to a car show the next day (50 mile drive using overdrive some) and had no problem. Tonight on the way home from church again, I get the same code. What gives??? lol

I read that with an aftermarket exhaust (like I have) the EGR sometimes will trip a code b/c of insufficient back-pressure - so i guess that could be possible. But I can't see any real malfunction in the system otherwise though. It only seems to get upset when I'm just cruising at real low RPM - I'm going to leave the EGR alone and drive it tomorrow and see if it reappears just driving around town. Any ideas?

*** must be sending you a message on the way home from Church.

 

i get code 32 also sometimes... never in the city. It allways on the highway.. usualy 5min after i cruise with low rpms at high speed... it hasn't done it for a while. I don't know what gives...

 

Me too! But ya know, I just don't worry about it because it doesn't affect the way it runs so I ignor it!

 

Hey where can i get a scanner for code's?

 

If you go to FAQ at the bottom of the page it will tell you all you need to know!

 

This is comon with exhaust mods. It doesn't hurt to run it that way, and it only shows up in closed loop. two choices
1 learn to ignore it
2 dissable the egr in the chip
