Re: MAP Sensor Replacement 1985 Pontaic Firebird

Code 32 is EGR Failure. It means that either the EGR is not opening as it should, is open when it shouldn't be, or that the EGR temp sensor is faulty. Codes 33 & 34 are MAF or MAP sensor codes, depending on what the vehicle is equipped with. Your car is an OBDI MAF car. It doesn't have a MAP sensor.
