How I repaired my EGR Solenoid and eliminated my Code 32 (Page 2/2)

Good catch phonedawgz. You are absolutely correct.

My EGR solenoid Code 32 has come back to visit a few times. It has not been consistant in any way. It always happened during a long drive but the next time I would start it up, the light would be out.

I decided that it might be caused by a slight vacuum leak in the unit. Maybe temperatures or humidity or vibration would trigger the code. I got a brilliant idea to fix any slight leaks, I PLASTI-DIPPED the solenoid! I used the spray-on kind instead of the actual dip. Got a nice thick coat all over the little jumper hoses and into all the cracks, nooks, and crannies.

I have driven about 400 miles since then and so far, the code has not come back. It is a cheap fix that is worth a try!

Are these pictures from the original post still available anywhere? They show up as missing images now (> 10 years after the original post). I just bought an '88 Fiero and I think my solenoid is bad.

thanks

For all intents and purposes... no.

There have been much more recent threads with EGR solenoid solutions.

And I think that Patrick means to say "search EGR Solenoid solutions" like:
