this will take care of that egr problem,,,, http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...ts1.php?id=176, get it with the plates. then get a complete tune up.

Re: the dreaded "service engine soon" light

was the trans code a P1870?

Full tune up with a new pcv valve should take care of your pcv code

egr might need to be replaced or deleted using a sim and block off plates or tuning and plates

... hope your not serious.

The inspection machine plugs into your OBD-II port (pending your a 1996+) and reads your codes, the actual light means nothing except a sensor is reading something out of norm. If you have a SES light on, in most states and your car is 96+ it will auto-fail.

Re: the dreaded "service engine soon" light

yeah, i was kidding, i would clear the codes, and hope they dont come back before the drive cycle is completed and take it in as soon as possible if they dont, egr sim is a good idea, i'm really glad that i dont have to deal with inspections :)
