code #32

I finaly got the codes out of my 95 camaro and a #32 EGR System Fault came up. What would be causing that?

Could be a bad EGR solonoid, or sticking EGR valve.. They get plugged up with carbon..

Also check over the vacuum lines and electrical connections for the EGR

i dont know if this means anything but everytime the service engine light comes up the fans kick on and they kick on high

the fans kick on? never heard of that one before...

*just a theory*

The EGR system actually helps you engine run cooler.. The warmer your engine is, the more the valve lets through... If the EGR vavle is sticking and the exhaust gases arent being re-burnt, Combustion tempature rises dramatically.. Your ECM might notice this and turn the fans on????

works for me...

than its agreed then

The fans are meant to kick on whenever the check engine light clocks on. It doesn't matter what code it is they always click on and its not a sticking EGR cause the light will only be triggered from the Solenoid not the Valve itself. If I where you I would just buy some block off plates off of ebay and scrap the EGR all together ,I have a extra EGR solenoid sitting around if you would like it.

actually, the newer vehicles valve and solenoid are one and the same. if a chunk of carbon gets stuck in the valve, the solenoid dosnt respond to the command, and the PCM see's this and sets the code. i would take it off, its only two bolts, and check it for carbon. if it is full of carbon chunks, then with it still off, start the engine and let it run and rev it up once or twice to blow the rest of the carbon chunks out of the EGR track. then bolt it back together.

Have you seen the solenoid to LT1's? They are not even linked except for a small vacuum hose. I would think it was a wiring problem before a carbon clogged Valve but who's knows never had the problem myself but I do have the solenoid hooked up and no valve on my car and it never set a code for me even though there is nothing to open or close.

so my best bet would be to take off the valve and check it for carbon? or should i throw another solenoid on it too?

Do you know anyone else with a 92-97 LT1? Because I would like to see you just swap solenoids for a sec to see if the code goes away but if you don't know anyone the problem is the EGR Valve is a pain in the ass to get to with the intake in place on the engine as it located directly between the intake and the fire wall. I would just scrap the EGR if it where me and buy a new solenoid because no matter which one it is that would make the code go away. But I would make sure you don't have a broken wire before you do anything

So the egr valve has no real purpose then? no i dont have any friends with a 92-97 lt1....(since anyone i've ever met that had one i've smoked :))....how much do you want for that solenoid FormulaLT1?

It does have a purpose. It send exhaust small amounts of exhaust gases into the intake to lower emisions when triggered by the solenoid but it serve's no major purpose you will operate basically exactly the same but are less likely to have a intake leak.

Also send me a PM with your address and I will drop it in the mail. I don't need it and it's small enough to fit in a envelope.

have to admit, im more familiar with the newer ones, so ill go with formulaLT1 on this one

i went out and took the hose off of the egr valve (from the solenoid) and i put a piece of tape over the egr valve....drove around for a while and no service engine light....then i put a piece of tape over the hose coming from the solenoid and drove around...still no service engine light...so whats up with that?

Do you have carb cleaner?

yeah i think some is laying around here somewhere

OK take the can and the plastic tube they give you and while the car is running spray carb cleaner threw the vacuum hose while giving the car lite throttle. then attach everything again and see if the light comes back and damn you 89 I think you where right.

Spray towards the Egr

so spray towards the valve? and this would take care of built up carbon in the valve which is what you would assume my problem is?

Yeah what is probably happening is that the solenoid is getting triggered but when it goes to suck air the valve is clogging it so its not completing a circuit if you spray it, It should clear the line and yes towards the valve that has to be where the clog is

alright i'll go try it right now

cuda, you have AIM? if so, what SN?

Yeah that would be so much easier for me if you do.

aim is marcusksting and yahoo is marco_polo10

*Big S**T eating grin*

Keep smiling, little do you know I'm mooning you right now(hell yeah infact I'm leaving a nice ass print on your sig) and the day before yesterday when you where PMing me I wasn't wearing any pants. Ha Ha!!!

girls girls girls...get a room! lol

Don't worry Geno you'll get a ASS print too. You know you love it.

how lewd you are! lol

formula... im at college right now........ male to female ratio of 4:1 and the girls know what guys are after, so they tend to just cut us off, its been like this for the whole semester..... you are a brave, brave man for bending over in front of me with your pants down right now :evillol:

ohhhhh myyyyyyyy...........

(drops her ink pen......)

Wow, I took it to the edge and you drove it off the cliff. But don't go and do anything crazy now 89. We wouldn't want to get a bad rep by having any of the boy's that play for the pink team driving around in an F-body. Not that there's anything wrong with that(but there should be).

Hey John, you're not gonna add that one to your list are you? (YOU know what I am talkin about)


oh wait! he's already on it! HA! doesn't count!!

formula, i must insist you leave, while i help insanity look for her ink pen, hope she dosnt mind me looking over her shoulder ;)

Is that a cam shaft in your pocket?? or are you just happy to see me? :naughty: :naughty:

Wouldn't be the first time you tried to steal one of mine 89.. Thats OK though we all know who they come running back to(BIG PAPA!).

well actually it is a camshaft in my pocket...... dont ask why its there... but im happy to see ya too :)

oh and formula, its ok, i can deal with being a one night stand, ive found girls cant handle the 3in of fury for extended periods of time anyway :)

ROFLMAO! OMG....ahem, I'll need a minute....LOL...to try and come up with something that can even remotely be considered a response! ah, this'll have to do!

:evillol:

that cam shaft is ribbed right?....LMAO!





hell NO! just wanted all the 18 years old to be screaming
"Oh Snap!"

sorry I'm tired....

hahaha, well if it makes you feel better, this 21 year old just went "Oh Snap!" ;) haha, and its ok, were all tired, im just undermedicated and hyper :)

I'm overmedicated.....maybe that explains it....Formula says I'm too friendly, ROFL!

I wouldn't say you where under medicated 89, I would just say its the wrong type of med's after all what person would take Vigra when they should be on provac.

:chair:

lol, no such thing as too friendly ;)

hey formula um i still have the light comming on so i guess the carb cleaner didnt fix it yet....i want to figure this out so the light isnt comming on when i sell the car

And now back to our regularly scheduled program......

OK but lets not clog the the Camaro Forum up with tech talk we are trying to make internet porn here. So IM me. (JK MAn but really IM me)

And now back to our regularly scheduled program......


LMAO!!!! awesome :lol:

LMAO!!!! awesome :lol:

mmmkay...... :screwy:

lol, hey i have the mentality of a 4 year old, thought the statement was whitty and humorus, so i lauged, no more bumpy camshaft for you *pouts*

lol, hey i have the mentality of a 4 year old, thought the statement was whitty and humorus, so i lauged, no more bumpy camshaft for you *pouts*

Awwww.... :sorry:

now I feel bad.....




NOT!


j/k...
no ones ever laughed at my program joke before.....awwwwwwww






so...how about that cam shaft?

Who needs a Camshaft when you have my Firehose reel size pee pee?

just havin a lil fun here papa

Thats OK Pa Pa likes to freak, too and after all 89 is such a whore pretty much everyone on the forum has had a piece of that ass!
