Re: cel light only comes on when driving

does the light go off after you stop? Need codes, this link explains how to do it yourself. https://www.thirdgen.org/service-eng...ht-error-codes

Mine is on too, but goes off sometimes. I know I need a new EGR valve, but it'll have to wait til i get the $90.
