Engine Mechanical problem
1995 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

95 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 liter 4 OHV fi 195,000 kms

About 2 months ago I broke one of the plastic vacuum lines coming from the throttle body vacuum source. I spliced the vacuum line together. Ever since the the check engine light comes on occassionally. It's throws the code 32 inncorrect Sw signaling EGR valve. Had it scanned at a shop.Changed the egr and still the same.I also noticed that the old egr had alot of carbon or something in it when i shook it...Thats weird.

The car has run fine since that.When the car runs hot the check engine light comes on again., I 've cleared the codes several times but it keeps coming back. Do you think the problem could be that spliced ined or something else.

I'd like top do a running vacuum test on it and would like to know where the best place on the engine is to hook up my gauage. I know the intake manifold is supposed to be the best place. How should I do the test to check if the EGR valve is getting the correct vaccum?

Either the spliced line or the EGR base. When changing the EGR always clean the soot from the base. If you don't the EGR pintle can get stuck and reduce flow.
