code332 and xpipe question

[95mustang_gt]

Well i change my xpipe on monday and i notice that it did not have the pipe that the smog pipe hose goes into.SO right now the hose is not plug into anything can that be the reason i get code 332 egr air flow something and a exhaust leak?

thanks

No ..... a code will not be thrown if the smog tube isn't hooked up. So that's not it.

Oh ... and on the code ..... I'd try cleaning up everything involved with the EGR. The EGR tubes are know to get nasty & clog. CHECK ALL LINES. Vacuum lines & all.

What can I get to clean the egr lines and etc..Since the smog tube is not hook up can that be why im getting a exahaust leak?

thanks

Well .... since your X pipe didn't come with the provision of attaching a smog tube ..... there will be no exhaust leak from that. Maybe it's coming from somewhere else (collector possibly). Or it may even be that you're hearing the smog pump blow air through that tube that's not hooked up (it won't affect anything, but the sound will be annoying). Just out of curiosity, what makes you think there is an exhaust leak anyway? Do you hear it?


As far as cleaning the lines .... get some throttle body cleaner, or the like, to clean the carbon buildup out.

Justin has steered ya right Jesse. The AIR system and EGR are completely unrelated.

If you clean the EGR valve itself, a bore brush works well (if you have a tiny toothbrush. Would that be a toofbrush?), it might fit in the passages.


Good luck.

I hear it.Its when i give it gas or when it goes in to low rpms i can hear it.But when i rev it up i cant hear it.its really annoying.Could i do anything to remove that smog tube that is there?Would it effect anything?

thanks

Many leaks are less audible when you are revving it since the pulse gets faster and the exhuast sound drowns it out.

Let me ask you this . . . when do you hear it while driving? At low rpms, downshifting to deccelerate, on acceleration to what rpm/load etc.

My EGR bung leaks and you can hear it all the time, but it's worse when I'm deccelerating and downshifting for whatever reason. And it's worse when the car is warm.

I can hear it when i am accelerate around 1500 rpms and up.it does seem to get a little louder when my car is warm.yesterday i tighten everything again but i can still here it but not as loud.but now the smog tube is hitting my driveshift and it sounds nasty.
