Thank you very very much. Im pretty broke so i would like to try to fix
this myself.



I'm a bit confused. Do you actually Reset the light and it comes back on, OR
do you unplug the battery and plug it back in, andthe light has not turned
off?

Have you actually pulled the codes to see what the engine thinks is wrong?

AutoZone stores in my area will allow me to check out a Scan Tool to pull
the codes then reset the computer so that I know it is reset. The Autozone
in your area may not allow you totake th etool home, but it's worth the
effort to ask. They also run the scan tool for you for free in most
states -- but not mine. They will pull the codes, let you write them down,
then reset them. You can compare the recent codes with those that you have
already written down, then you can check the ones that appear on both lists.

Lots of codes can trigger "sympathy" codes, and you need to isolate the
sympathy pains from the real ones. By making a list of all codes, then
resetting the computer, then writing a new list and comparing the contents
of the latest list with the contents of the previous list. If the new list
is written soon after the light comes on, odds are good that the sympathy
codes will not have registered yet, and whichever code you have on both
lists should be the system that is demanding attention.

Well this morning i went to autozone they scanned it. error (401) EGR.
The guy also reset it for me. As far as I can tell Him resetting it
with the tool seems to do the same thing that pulling the neg battery
terminal does.

When i pull the neg from the battery the CEL will stay off until i
drive about 15 miles.

Thanks for the input though.
