Okay here's the deal
96 Exploder 5.0 CEL came on , and I was *hoping* it was a loose gas cap.. .etc no luck.So I scanned it and came up with the following
PO053 02 sensor slow response (bank2, upstream) PO402 EGR excessive flow P1150 Adaptive fuel at limit P1151 Lean 02 P0174 Bank 2 lean..
So, to see if the 02 sensor was *really* bad, I swapped bank 1 / 2 and reset the codes
Basically my 02 sensor codes were now on Bank 1, so being pretty confident that the 02 sensor WAS bad, I replaced it.
So now the only code I have is the P0402 EGR Excessive flow
The actual EGR valve looks like it's impossible to remove without pulling the intake, so I'm hesitant to just go after it without more info. I'm wondering HOW the computer comes to the conclusion that there is excessive flow. What I'm wondering is if I can bypass the EGR or sensor to narrow down what the cause is before I go after it.
Any suggestions are appreciated ! Thanks
