Egr valve probelms

[scubajosh12]

and the egr code 12 is for auto only. is your an automatic

 

[scubajosh12]

its probably your fuel pressure regulator. the diag steps for a 43 code go as directed. 1 remove hazard fuse from main fuse block for ten seconds reset the ecu. 2 start car and allow to get to operating tempature, fans kick on.3 hold rpms at 3000 rpms for 2minutes. 4 if light returns test fuel pressure regulator.5 if regulator is working properly unplug the o2 sensor and test voltage between sensor and body ground.6 is the voltage above .6 at wide open throttle to 4500 rpm and does it drop to .4v when quickly released. if not new o2 sensor needed

Yup mines is an automatic

 

[scubajosh12]

do the first steps of diag i put up and if everything checs out ill get you the diag tree for code 12

 

[STARSCREAM]

fuel pump might be going out too

 

[scubajosh12]

stick to the steps i gave you before testing other parts. thats a direct diag tree for that code from honda

 

[scubajosh12]

if all that is fine get a new egr valve. dont cheap out at the junk yard sorry

ight, ill try it as soon as i get home, but something tells me it will be the o2 sensor -__-, lol i had a new one but my friend talked me out of thinking that was the probelm so i returned it

 

[illmatic]

yea i will if everything is fine, wouldnt want the same probelms to come back again lol

 

[scubajosh12]

i wasnt thinking o2 either but thats what the diag trees are for. it cam from alldata which is used in multiple shops and dealerships everywhere. ive been in the industry for a long time and have acsess to some good info like that

 

[illmatic]

now that i think about it is the regulator that thing that looks like a bottle cap but the center is poking up or something, if so mines looks fairly new, shiny and all lol

 

[illmatic]

alright im home im about to check it out

 

[illmatic]

did the first three steps and no CEL so im guessing the FPR is okay,

 

[scubajosh12]

no cel light yet. than it is considered an intermitten fault code. you should have gotten something back not even the egr code. well seems like its been fixed jk

i was driving this morning to work and i got a CEL, before i went in i pulled the code, it was a 12, nothing more lol i guess 43 and 6 were only when i overheated the car, so imma go into getting a replacement egr valve, thanks for the help man
