Re: 97 Lumina runs bad after moisture

Update:

Ok I took out my ignition coils and had them test at autozone. All tested ok. I did have them get the computer codes out of my car because I have not seen the service engine soon light on in a long time, so I thought maybe the light burnt out.

Well my ses light is not working but still throwing codes. I had 10 of them. So I researched some of them. I will list them here and see if anyone has any input. Also, I did clean the egr valve out because one of the codes pertained to that.

1. Code: P0401- EGR system fault
What I did: Cleaned egr, valve was moving freely and back to closed like it should. Anything else I should check with this?

2. P0420 - Catalyst efficiency low bank 1
What I did: Read about this one. This must be the code for the missfires I had. Other than that I have no idea.

3. P0341- Cam Sensor condition
What I did: Nothing yet. I suppose I could change the sensor is that expensive and easy to do? Could someone tell me where this is or link to picture even better.

4. P0440 & P0442- Emissions leak
What I did: I know the gas cap is not causing this. I inspected the tank and lines around but could not see anything bad. I did read that luminas are know for the evaporator emissions canister vent solenoid for going bad. Is this a cheap part? Where exactly is it? Is it easy to do?

Hey I think I am learning more and more about working on cars here. Maybe soon I can learn a few more things and help some others on this site, especially with luminas. Thanks for the help so far.
