EGR code..i know sort of how to starthere but i just wnted to know if yhere was a really common section that causes this. I didnt get to even check the gas cap cause i had to go straight from oreillys to class then i have to go to work..so ive fone nothing but clear the code. Ive noticed maybe an exhaust leak (its getting louder up towarda the cat ) and my gas mileage has gone to hell. So..there it is haha thanks again guys.

 

The EGR valve is not operating properly. Remove it, clean out all the crud in the valve and the exhaust gas passages (EGR plumbing). Re-install the valve, clear the DTC, and see if the light stays off.

 

Thanks man..the light has stayed off since i cleared it this morning (ive only driven <15 miles) do you know of a thread that shows where the egr valve is? Ive never messed with it before..ill do some searches here and do some googling and try to get it on my own too but you guys do great write ups lol..just use carb cleaner or what?

 

Oh forgot to mention its a 2000 3.8

 

lord..before i post here ever again im gonna take two minutes off work..i popped the hood and it practically punched me in the face..so now i guess the only question is what to clean it with..im a bit ashamed of my lack of effort before posting haha please spare me the whips this time..lol

 

Carb choke or brake cleaner or just replace it I did it was five dollars from salvage yard haha
