7G problems again...still not fixed. WTF
back around December of 07 I got a CEL for EGR malfunction. I don't remember the number that came up. Anyways after deleting the code it would go away for a while. Seems that it would come back when it got cold out. Anyways. I am trying to get my car inspected. And on Saturday I disconnected the battery and I reset the light. I had between 150 and 200 miles on the car and no CEL. I went to get inspected today. And when the mechanic hooked it up, I had 5 not readys. He said he would have continued with the inspection had I only had 2 but can't with 5. I don't remember then all but 1 was for EGR and one was for evaporator. I asked how many miles I would need to drive to get the car "ready" and he said he didn't know it varies. So I leave the shop and go figure within 10 miles the CEL comes back up. Last year I got the car inspected in July and I don't remember how many miles were on it from when I reset the CEL but I am guessing cause it was warm out, that's why it stayed cleared as long as it did. I am in a bind now as the temp inspection I had expired on Monday.
What am I going to need to do or fix or replace to get this EGR issue straightened out.
thanks in advance
also if I was to clear the light out with an ODB2 scanner would the car be able to be inspected or would I still show that it isn't ready
