I'm getting error code #32. Does this mean that my EGR is bad, the EGR solenoid is bad, or maybe the O2 sensor? Because it also says "Required change in air/fuel ratio not detected during diagnostic test." The other explanation I got was, "An open or shorted condition detected in the EGR transducor solenoid circuit." Could someone please clarify for me which one I should be checking. Thanks.

Use an OBDII scan tool (or have it read for free at an auto parts store like Auto Zone) and it will clarify which"32" you are getting. For example you may have a 403 (open or shorted EGR) or a 401 (req change in ratio not detected (in this case, it could be sticking)). As for the O2, I read that the O2 sensor must pass its test before the EGR will run its test.

 

Thank you. Will do. Had the starter replaced cuz that went out. Was wondering if it was EGR. Can't you check it by doing a "suck" test? If you suck and air comes through it's no good. And if you can't suck any air through it's good? I heard someone testing it this way.

 

By a "suck test" do you mean to check the diaphragm with a vacuum tester? If so, yes you can tell if it is ruptured and may even hear it move, but it might have carbon build up preventing it from physically seating. If you first determine which code you have, you know which direction to go instead of checking the vacuum lines vs. the electrical side to the solinoid.

P.S. The starter is not the EGR (if that is what you ment by "Had the starter replaced cuz that went out. Was wondering if it was EGR").
