[quote:01c5b03ade="techman1"]To be honest, I'm not sure I would care about a check engine light with that many miles as long as it ran OK and with reasonable power and fuel mileage. But to give you an answer, you could have a temperature sensor that is going bad or has bad connection. Temp sensors don't throw a code that says temp sensor, but they mess with the fuel/air mix, so if the computer thinks the engine is cold when it is warm, the cold fuel/air mix starts throwing exhaust related codes.[/quote:01c5b03ade] i ended up pulling the intake manifold off and the egr port system was totally plugged with carbon. i cleaned it all out working good for now.
