Could be EGR.

You need to get to AZ and let them scan it if you have OBDII. They do it free. If it turns out to be your EGR, use sea foam deep creep to clean to see if that will work before you shell out 135+ for a new one.

Re: service engine soon

What year is your car?

Re: service engine soon

Like Earnhardt132000 said. It depends on the year of your car. You should just goto AutoZone and ask them to check you computer.

OBD = On Board Diagnostics

Re: service engine soon

depending on the year of your car will determine which OBD you have, 93/94 have obd1 with the obd1 port, 95 has obd1 with the obd2 port and 96-02 are obd2 with the obd2 ports.

get it scanned, let us know and we can help from there.

Re: service engine soon

where ca you get seafoam?

Got Sea Foam from AutoZone and Sea Foam Deep Creep from Advance. Usually by the fuel additives.

Good clear up on that vanbibber.

Most AutoZones wont do OBDI but still worth a shot. I would check with all your local parts stores before Id pay anything for a scan (they can get pricey). Good Luck.
