89Ru Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 When you say "EGR light" I'm assuming a lot: 1. CEL on 2. Trouble code 34 --> Failed EGR solenoid If you want to double check, to verify a bad EGR solenoid check the coil resistance by disconnecting the connector and ohming the contacts, a good coil reads about 35 ohms. Besides the tape trick, replacing the solenoid should clear the CEL by itself. Good post here on this subj, how to find EGR, etc.: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12057&highlight=solenoid+code Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballitch Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Yes, you are totally right, it is a mileage-tripped thing, every 60k miles the light goes on for the mechanic to check the fuse or some ****, happened to me when I hit 180k, on my way to the coast darn thing came on and I was like WTF? got home after end of weekend and cost me like $15 to fix it. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
