driving around today for awhile, came home and CEL starts flashing...checked codes, its a 31 (and 67 due to NSS-thats another issue). Looked up the code via a web search, its a EGR/VPS issue apparently. Checked my VPS and sure enough there was something wrong..it wasn't seated properly on the EGR because the 3 mounting bolts were not tightened down all the way. Tightened them up, disconnected the battery, no more code 31. By the way the EGR and VPS are motorcraft and are new (few hundred miles on them) and them bitches aren't cheap sheesh.
so how does the bolts come loose? engine vibrations or? I know I tightened them fairly good when I installed them initially...atleast I thought I did.
I'm just glad this was an easy fix...
