I recently pulled my engine codes, it showed a 10-5, meaning my EGRC Solenoid/Valve, also it showed a 3-4 which is the knock sensor. I need to know how in the world to fix the EGRC code. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks a lot!Sean

Find out exactly whats wrong, fix it, and reset the ecu... The code just gives you an idea of what to look for, not exactly what is wrong.

I have a disabled egr system and am missing a rear O2 sensor. My light stayes on 24/7 but occasionally (like now) goes out.. Last time I cranked the car sans maf plugged in to get it to come back on as I missed it, this time Im riding it out to see how long itll stay off :)

Its like after 6 months it just says fine to hell with it Ill turn the light out as your not paying attention anyway....

I understand what you are saying, but here in GA, if you have a CEL, they will not emmission your car. What exactly is the EGRC system? Is it just the EGR valve on the back/side of the intake manifold?

Could be any thing in the egr system... A vaccume leak, a malfuntiioning or stuck egr valve, or solonoid, the list goes on.

I would head up to your local nissan parts department, ask to view a fsm for your year (all the ones ive been to have been happy to let me look at one, although I have my own I couldnt afford to buy a fsm for every idea I get :) )... When you get it thumb through the "ec" section till you get to the egr system testing pages. Then say Id like a copy of ec-88 to ec -96 (so to say) if you wouldnt mind please. As long as its not a ton of pages and they arent extreamely busy they should hand them out....

of and the mil / cel story was just something I get a kick out of.... I really dont know why I posted it, oh wait its because that was the night it went out again hehe.
