![]() Hi all,
My Check engine light started flashing. So I got a code scanner and in the KEO test I got 31 Continuous memory code. The manual says this is an EGR problem. So OK, but the vehicle runs great. For example, here in Europe, I can drive all day at 80 mph plus at the same time I get 20- 22.5 miles per (US) gallon. "My pappy used to say - if it ain't broke don't fix it" So am I doing any damage to the motor if I don't fix this EGR problem? Of course there is also the fact that seeing this check light flashing on and off is driving me nuts ![]() Any technical experts out there who can comment? Nice day...... Marton |

![]() I wouldn't worry much about the EGR code, I've been getting it for 6 years!! LOL And When we'd have emissions here, I'd still pass. I thought there was a way to reset that light on those cars?

![]() The code you are getting indicates that your EGR valve isn't opening. Is the vacuum line hooked up properly? It may also just be a bad EGR valve position sensor (EVP). The EGR valve only affects NOx when it comes to emissions but it also helps bring cylinder temps down to prevent pinging.
