Error 32 w/ new EGR

Nate Sestrich 22 April 2005 01:50:35
 Hi guys,

Had an error 32 on the computer, put in brand new EGR, but I still get
the error 32 (much less frequently though). It does still have a rather
rough idle as well. Air filter was a little dirty so I threw in a new one
too, just to be sure.

Can anyone tell me what else to look for, test or switch that might be
associated with the error 32? The Haynes and Chilton manuals are pretty
vague.

Thanks!
Nate

 The code 32 has nothing to do with the EGR valve itself. It's a failure in
the EGR solenoid over on the other side, just above the water pump.

 John,

Cool, guess Ill throw on new one of those at it too. The EGR that was
on looked terrible inside anyhow, I had to bust off a bunch of carbon around
the ports. Needed it anyhow I guess. Ill take a look for that solenoid!

Thanks!
Nate

There's a thread over on Pennocks that has all you ever wanted to know
about the Fiero V6 EGR system, http://www.fiero.no­ go to the forums,
then hit search off the top right group of links, then search for
"code 32 buddycraigg warning" and you'll see it in the first page.
Trust me, you have to see this thread.

The Code 32 is set when the vacuum switch that's attached to the
solenoid doesn't see vacuum when the ECM thinks there should be in
the line that goes from the solenoid to the EGR valve. A broken
vacuum line, defective EGR valve, or switch can cause a code 32.

 Jazzman,

Thanks a bunch for the help. The article, admittedly, confused me a bit
more than I was to begin with, but Im an electronics tech for a living so
the whole multimeter testing thing sounds like a breeze. I was sort of let
down to read that this problem normally doesnt effect engine
performance...Ive been getting very rough idle as well as soot all over the
back of my car for a god month now. I was really hoping to clear it up.
Any chance Im barking up the wrong tree here?

Thanks,
Nate

 DO this. With the engine idling, use your fingers to push
up on the diaphragm inside the EGR valve hat. This will open
the EGR valve. The idle should deteriorate immediately and
badly. Release the diaphragm, the idle should improve within
a second or two. Next step, with the engine off disconnect
the vacuum line from the EGR valve. Use your finger to again
push the diaphragm up, then use a dampened finger to block
the nipple on the valve where the vacuum line was connected.
Release the diaphragm while blocking the nipple, it should
stay up as long as the port remains blocked. As soon as you
release the nipple the valve should close. If it won't hold
then the diaphragm is bad and the valve needs to be replaced.

Have you pulled any pther trouble codes yet? With the mixture that
rich you should have set at least an O2 trouble code by now,
generally a code in the 40's. If your O2 is bad it will run
rich, and the same if the CTS is bad.

 Jazzman,

Nope, no other error codes as of yet, and the EGR is brand new as of two
days ago. I will try what you said, not a problem. I was afraid that Im
burning oil, but my exhaust smells like gasoline. I havent had a single
other error code other than 32 for 2 months now and just got the fixing it
up about 5 days ago. Could it possibly be lingering carbon in the system
that is still giving me the error code? Or after replacing the EGR valve it
should clear right away? Im still hanging to the fact that my solenoid
might be bad, but Id hate to buy one if I dont have to. Ill give what you
said a try tomorrow.

Thanks,
Nate

Yeah, right. :)­

 About how much would a replacement EGR solenoid cost if anyone has an idea?

 before you go buying a new solenoid (expensive) try this (cheap). There
is a small rubber hose going from the end of the solenoid up to a tube
on the firewall. Replace this, clear the codes, and see if they come
back after 5+ minutes above 55mph.

That rubber hose is the fresh air sourse for bleeding off
vacuum when the solenoid commands the EGR valve to close.
This would only really cause a problem if it was totally
plugged, and if it was it would keep vacuum in the EGR
system and cause drivability problems. However, since
vacuum would be present it wouldn't trip a code 32.

New solenoids are expensive, it's usually better to try
repairing yours first. The buddycraigg code 32 link on
Pennocks is a good place to start.

Actually it will, the ecm checks for the presence of vacuum when it
tries to turn on the egr and it checks for the lack of vacuum when it
tries to turn the egr off. This seems to be really common problem and
the #1 cause of the code.
