I think 32 is the EGR but start with the 44. This can be a complex code. Lean exhaust which could heat your car up.
Before you nickel & dime yourself to death replacing parts (like me) start with the 4 center intake manifold bolts and make sure they are tight (40lbs). Check all plastic vacuum lines around plenum for cracks or being disconnected. Go ahead and maybe replace the 02 sensor, check the wire to it, and replace the fuel filter. These are reasonably priced parts and they aren't a "waste" if it doesn't fix it.
Check for air flow tightness in the following components.
...paying particular attention to the "airbox". It is bad about cracking right on the seam where you can't see it.
After making adjustments or repairs.... disconnect battery for a few minutes to clear codes.... then recheck. If you still have a 44 you may have a leaking injector, cold start valve and even other, but unlikely, things like:
Bad air diverter valve
Plugged Cat
Plugged Muffler
Bad PROM or ECM.
If you solve the 44 you have the hard part done.
