33897, More CEL's
Posted by mitsudsr, Oct-01-02 01:41 PM
Well first off thanks for the quick response about my EGR CEL. I have put another 500 miles on the rebuild that makes it 1000 total and changed the oil for the second time. So I decided to check my CEL codes just to be safe. Well now on top of my EGR code I now have an Evap circut selenoid code. This is driving me crazy I finally have the car running well and now another CEL. Do these two problems have anything in common? My last two CEL ended up being the stupid wiring harness starting to melt. Could this be the problem here too? Where are the connecters for these two selenoids so I can check them out? P.S. I am ging to start boosting about 3psi tomarrow will I be ok to do that with this new CEL?
Thanks for the help,
Patrick

damn, a bunch of EVAP CEL's lately...I'm really starting to hate this system, not only for my nonstop EVAP cel coming on, but all of you guys getting it too :) Only thing i can suggest to start off is to check any and all vac lines in the whole EVAP system. Start at the TB, the vac line right ontop of the TB, above the throttle plate, is the EVAP vac line. Follow this line all the way around the frame on the T-belt side of the motor, then in the right front fender area is the solenoid and canister. The lines then trace back along the frame rail, then back under the car, to the gas tank. Follow it all, and check for leaks, broken vac lines, ect..
