Re: 91 Astro Van with Code 32
That's an EGR valve code--seen it many times and most likely the EGR valve is being held open by a chunk of carbon- there are several ways to correct this- you can remove yours- and clean it out-- or you can find someone with a TECH I scanner and excerise the valve while reving engine- to blow out the chunk- or you can hope the chunk blows out on its own-- in the meantime engine will probably idle rough- be much harder to start- until valve seat itself properly- there is also an item called a "klean screen" sold at parts stores or on-line that should eliminate the carbon chunks problem.
I have seen some folks actually spend the bucks and replace the EGR- I always comment- well the new valve is clean- did you try to clean the old one? it solved their problem- but cleaning the old on would have as well-- some folks have more money than brains.
