EGR broke again??
ok heres the dilly.
my car will sometimes throw an SES light when Decelerating from 55mph or over, meaning i will be on cruise control at 55 and then when i turn it off and the car goes down about 5mph the SES light comes on .
well, from all my understandings this was clearly the EGR valve throwing a code, but now i'm not too sure.
I bought a used but working EGR for my car from EBAY, the same place other members have bought them from for about 50$.
anyhow, the code came back on yesterday under the same circumstances. :rant:
now, you might say "well just get the code scanned" but thers a number of problems with that, # 1 being that if you own an obd 1.5 car like the 3.4's some of them are IMPOSSIBLE to read codes on, you can't take them to an autozone or advanced and get them read, it just doesn't work on our cars, you can't even do it manually with the paperclip method. On top of that, my car only throws the code under these certain conditions so it would be inconvenient to have to wait for it to come on and then get it scanned.
can anyone lend some advice, either on what you think my code is or a better way to get it scanned?
i'm open here to all advice, this thing is starting to tick me off, i just want my car to stop throwing codes, and if it's not the EGR then i want to fix whatever is wrong.
thanks
