Ok, so I replaced a line (filled with carbon btw) going from the intake to the EGR. I dont smell fuel inside or outside the car AT ALL now (when it previously warmed up, the smell of fuel was identical to just pouring gas all over yourself).

So Im happy in that regard. BUT, code 32 keeps popping up. What else should I check out? Iv read that most of you just ignore it, but it's hard to when it just blinks in your face at night... Plus Im just in that mindset to fix something thats bothering me.

Appreciate it, you guys rock.

 

did you reset ur computer? unplug the negative battery terminal for 5 mins then put it back on..also u mentioned it blinking at night..u still have the onboard code reader shorted???!! thats not good make sure you un short the terminal then reset the computer..what does that code stand for anyway??

 

Hmm, sorry, didnt include enough info.

I did unplug the battery and let it sit for 10 mins. I went out and drove it, and after about 15 mins of highway driving, it came on again.
Sorry, didnt mean that it blinks...

And I did run a scan on it and it was a 32.

Im probably going to replace the gas cap tomorrow. (Its the original). Besides I hate having to use a key to open it.

 

i never said i didn't belive you it was a code 32..but i don't know what a code 32 means..

 

Oh, well it just means some sort of EGR system failure. Either electrical, vacuum leak, etc. And like I said, I had a hose replaced, and gases seem to be circulating very nicely now. But, there still seems to be a problem somewhere.

 

maybe the EGR valve is bad?? did u change that? check for any cracked wires or vacuum lines, good luck

 

EGR holds well, lines all good...

 

if u dont have emmissions u can plug the EGR valve. i have mine plugged b/c it went bad and i never replaced it.

 

Hmm from what I hear, that would be kind of dumb to do.

Im not in emissions area, but in Texas it will be state wide soon. I am an inspector myself, so believe me.

 

I got the car back today. They said they couldnt get the light to come on. Well after about 20 mins of driving on the highway it came on again.
But the car drives so good. What else could there be? They looked over everything (supposedly) and said it is all good. Is this a common problem (where the light just comes on for no damn reason)?

What kind of motor and injection system is on the car? I have a 305 TBI and I had the same problem. I went and got a 14 X 3" Open Element w/ K&N filter and haven't had a problem with it since.

 

All the info is on my website. Its a 91 Z28 with 5.7
