Post Whores Make Me Sick
Hey guys-- got the check engine light the other night and I'm lookin' for some help. When I first scanned the codes I got 3 continuous memory codes and 1 KOEO code:
Continuous Memory Codes:
211 - Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) circuit fault
212 - Loss of ignition diagnostic monitor signal/SPOUT circuit grounded
332 - Insufficient EGR flow detected
Key on/Engine off Code:
335 - EGR sensor circuit voltage higher or lower than expected during self-test
Codes 211 & 212 had my scratching my head, so I started with the EGR stuff. For 332 I removed the EGR and cleaned it out with some carb cleaner. I sucked on the vac spout to open and close the switch while my brother sprayed carb cleaner through both ends. From what I could see it looked pretty clean to start with but who knows... As for the code 335, I was a little confused because I just replaced my EGR sensor with a new Ford part about 2-3 years ago, and it wasn't cheap.
So I reinstalled my EGR and cleared the codes before heading home to Davis (1+ hour drive). This morning I checked the codes again and after driving the truck for over an hour it's down to two codes:
Continuous memory:
211 - Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) circuit fault
KOEO:
335 - EGR sensor circuit voltage higher or lower than expected during self-test
Do I need to throw parts at it or do these codes generally signify a failure somewhere else? The strange thing about the EGR sensor code is that it's failing during the self-test, even when the truck isn't running. As for the 211 code, the only thing I could come up with is that maybe my Superchips chip is playing games with the computer... Anyone well versed with these EEC-IV computers know if a chip might affect my PIP? Any ideas?
