I'm gonna try and clean my EGR valve in the next couple days and try and clear the code in the computer and had a couple questions for you guys.
First has anyone here had a problem with code 71... - EGR VALVE MALFUNCTION - EXHAUST GAS TEMPEATURE BELOW SPEC. FOR EGR CONTROL - EGR SYSTEM - EGR GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR/CIRCUIT I've got the pdf manual from an other post and am gonna try what it suggests but was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so what it was. I think it's probably carbon build up in the egr or a faulty sensor hopefully. I really don't want to spend $300 on a stupid valve. Also to clear the code do you just pull the jumper wire while the codes are flashing. That's how it's done on my TBird but that's a Ford. Thanks in advance. --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

Not sure how you clear the codes on a 97. Probably just a jumper somewhere in the diagnostic port. Somebody with a newer shop manual should be able to tell you.
Its probably just a bad sensor or everything is just really clogged up. Its really common for those things to be a mess when you take them apart. |
