Did you get the windows tinted 4 years ago or did a previous owner? When I had mine done in FL they made my sign a waiver when I selected Front and Back equally dark. They said it was outside the law but almost everyone choose this option.

I finally got the car from my daughter and used the attached TSB to fix the CEL. I had also replaced the EGR valve first but it was no help.

Reojeff, That metal tube w/ the rubber hose attached should be clear, I used a drillbit to clean it. Didn't fix my P0402 code though. Why did you clean it, was the CEL on or was it running bad? My post on 7/25/09 has a couple pdf's attached that may fix the P0402 code.

If it runs you can drive it, nothing will be damaged. I'd be surprised if it ran though w/ 2 holes in the manifold. You may try removing the battery, that helps make room for reinstalling the EGR as well as the black plastic air intake fitting.

Yours is gummed up, that spring should not be compressed. Try to clean the valve so it will move again but it's probably time for a new one.

My daughter took her 2000 1.6L back to school with the CEL still burning w/ a P0402 code. As I stated earlier I bought a new EGR valve with no help. (Anyone want a used EGR valve, make me an offer) I've since found a TSB explaining to clean an EGR port for this code. Since I don't have the car...

Well, I bit the bullet and purchased another EGR valve for this 1.6 L engine after removing and cleaning had no effect. I did find the metal vacuum tube coming off the EGR port was plugged with carbon. The new valve had no effect, CEL back on. Don't know if it could be a bad boost sensor (I...

I tried cleaning the valve twice for the P0402 code but it keeps coming back. Has anyone replaced the $250 valve and had it fixed? Also, what's the sensor the rubber hose coming from the valve connects to on the 1.6 do? Could this be my problem? Thanks

I can't find this number on their webpage, their price is $216, not much different then Autozone.
