comes on ONLY on deceleration. Had the codes checked and was told it is the EGR. Changed it and it didn't help. have chanked all sensors, tps, iac, o2, etc. Sometimes it will go off under accleration, but rarely. any ideas? 94 firebird 3.4.

Re: Check engine light
Common problem with the 3.4L engine. Considering everything that you have already changed, maybe the EGR passages are clogged??? -
Re: Check engine light
cleaned them all out. Had a round wire bruch on the end of my cordless drill and a can of carb cleaner. Also, the tube that runs fromthe exhaust manifold to the intake. And the egr stand off thingy.My best guess is that if it's common, I will live with it. It gets about 24 mpg at 75 on the highway.Comment

I changed the O2's. I did put on a used EGR. Have a friend that has a scanner that can check each solenoid on the egr and they were all working at the time. Maybe I will save my money and just buy one to see what happens.Comment

It was the EGR valve. I had put a used one on there at the same time I cleaned out the passage in the intake. I fixed one problem and created another at the same time. I put the original EGR back on and the light hasnt' came on yet.Comment

Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
