Check Engine Light

[SHO94]

I am getting ready to trade my SHO in and the check engine light came on today. I pulled the codes and I got the old 332 code. I pulled the intake and cleaned it about 6 months ago and now it needs it again. I do not have time to pull the manifold and was hoping someone knew how to disconnect the light so it won't hurt me on trade in valve.

Well if you recently cleaned the intake and EGR nostris I would suspect that the DPFE sensor is shot. That is what happened to mine. wink

Option 2, Unplug the Negative battery cable a couple blocks away from the dealer, Hit the braked for a minute, then reconect neg and do standard computer reset. Drive it in, shut it off, do not let the car get to operating temp, then the EGR doesn't come into play. Of coarse I am not endorsing what you are doing. wink

what is egr

 

[SHOfun 93]

Exhaust gas return. It is the area right behind the throttle body in the intake that allows air to bypass the throttle at idle. Sometimes they get gunked up, and they look like little snake nostrils right behind the throttle. If they gum up, it might send a code.

Actually it's exhaust gas recirculation, but I got the point.
