Ok I have a retarded car right now...recently my check engine lights been on and off at random. I checked my codes and got the following---->23 and a 32.

The 23 is (Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor circuit (low temperature)) Should I just replace the sensor?

The 32 is Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) failure---> (Check the vacuum source and all vacuum lines. Check the EGR valve or ECM as necessary)
I know my car has a shitty idle and I just replaced the EGR valve not more than a year ago so I know its prolly not bad. However it was from Autozone :-? Could I just have a bad vacuum line? Any suggestions on what to look at? Sorry guys, Any help is appreciated

i would check your vaccuum lines first being that they would be the cheapest to replace.

Hmmmm Well I just got off work and I have no clue where you live

I would definitely look at the vacuum lines. Once they are fixed, your idle will probably be waaaayyy better.

Fiberglass would work wonders for this, and the only wood wasted would be the top cap.

There are no vacuum lines going to the EGR on a 3.1 L. If you want to test the egr, go to this link, it tells you how to do it.

I was just gonna say, "isn't the EGR on a 3.1 digital?"

Fock me...what was I thinkin I knew that

I can imagine the EGR is bad already though :-? It's less than a year old.

It may not be bad, but depending on how the motor has been running, you may have a pintle stuck open in the valve. Take the valve off and make sure that none are stuck open. also push on the pintles with a small screwdriver to make sure that they move freely. But your probably right, if its not even a year old, its probably ok
