Hi Guys,
My Buddy`s. ride is a `92 T.C 4.6 litre v-8 . here`s the problem the check engine Light has come on and is now staying on . Appparently it would come on when he let off on the accelerator and then go out when back on the fuel after a short distance. he took it to a garage they changed some sort of sensor which is located on the EGR valve . The light was out for day or two but is now on again steady. Had it on along trip and said the car seems to run fine ,fuel mileage seemed ok ,any ideas ? He had one oxygen sensor replaced ,are there more on this model ? how about the MAF sensor any possible connection here ? What is the sensor on the EGR valve ?
Thanks:banghead:
