Re: EGR Code..now what ??

if i plug a code reader into my OBD-II interface port (below steering wheel) and let it display the code three times, that action clears the error from memory.

plug in code reader
turn ignition to ON (NOT Start)
each code usually flashes 3 times.

after a while (30 seconds) unplug code reader and you shouldnt have any more codes stored.


by the way... once upon a time, I got EGR error codes too (on a 3.1).... was a clogged cat. think of trouble codes more as "hints" than the actual problem. There can always be something else that causes another part to give the wrong readings. I could get a misfire code by putting the pedal down with the clogged cat.... engine misfire had nothing to do with the engine itself... go figure. However, in your case, you do claim that the ports are clogged.

yours 3.1 or 3.8?
