Ok, I just bought this car and i hooked it up to my diagnostic tester. It reveiled codes 29, 32, and 64. Well 29 was easy to fix, just a blown fuse. But where is the EGR valve?

Will the EGR valve cause my oxygen sensor to pick up a lean reading on bank 2?

I didnt notice a service engine light on my way home, but the engine was making a really weird vacuum noise. It sounds like there is a huge leak on the left side of the engine. Any ideas?

Also could someone post some pictures of their engine on the drivers side so i could compare?

Thanks

Do a search for Shoebox.He has a great tech page.About your EGR...possible.Take it out and clean it.You may have a vacuum leak there too.I bet he chimes in next.

 

Man, I'm trying to find out where the heck one of my oxygen sensors is!! Where is left bank, sensor 2, post-converter ? I threw up a P0141. Left bank is driver side so I changed the driver side 02. So, I put in the new 02...SES still on. I drove it around and I should of hit atleast 600 degrees for the pcm to read the 02. Since the light is still on...im thinking I changed the wrong one. So is it the 02 sensor that's on the driver side header or is it the 02 sensor that's in the middle (3rd 02 sensor)? I know it cant be the very rear sensor..? Alos, do I have to erase the code out or do I disconnect my battery and the pcm will reset? I tried twice but was disconnected for 15 minutes... lemme know wassup....

Thanks....

 

96-97 bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor can be found right here.

oh ok, i was thinking it was that one......I have a new 02 sensor on the workbench so I'll slap it in tonight....Thanks!

 

WhiteBeast:

Since you have a scanner, check the passenger side (Bank 2) O2 sensor from cold start thru a WOT pass. Look for unusually low readings. Or, look for excessively high long term fuel corrections (BLM's) on the passenger side. Theres a good chance one or more of the BLM's is max'd out at 160.

And, to check for a faulty sensor, after you have observed the behaviour of both the left and right side sensors, swap the sensors side-to-side, and see if the problem follows the sensor (faulty sensor) or stays on the passenger side (something affecting the passenger side A/F ratio or the wiring).
