'97 Legacy Gt 2.5, FAILS EGR inspection!

[SubeeTed]

Hi ALL again!

I did by that 2.5 GT Leagcy Wgn. It's got 123K miles on it. I just came back from MAss inspection. It FAILS the EGR test. Earlier that day I brought it to my mechanic, he reset the OBDII. It said it had an EGR problem. This car has sat around ALOT for 2 months before I bought it! Pine pitch and all! Anyhow, cleared the code, I drove around to do registration stuff, light came back on after about 25 miles or so!!! What to do?????

 

MANY thanks, Ted

I have a 97 OB with an EGR issue that's been going on for a year. Hopefully, it will be resolved tomorrow. (Nothing major, it's just that the first failed item found wasn't the only failed item, and I've just been lazy about dealing with it.)

 

There are a few threads on here discussing EGR problems. It seems to be fairly common around the age and milage of your vehicle.

Hi Mr. C,

 

I can't do a "EGR" search! It comes back with "too many replies"! I tried the word "emissions" I don;t get enough specific info! I still need help in this area!

Many thanks, STed

It seems like "EGR" is too short to search on.

 

How about this thread...
