Car Forum / GMC Cars / November 20052001 Impala trouble codes
On the 2001 Impala's, is it still possible to pull the trouble codes, or is it just easier to take it to AutoZone or someplace like that? Needed to get it inspected today and there was a fear that it wouldn't pass. Thanks, Gary > On the 2001 Impala's, is it still possible to pull the trouble codes, > or is it just easier to take it to AutoZone or someplace like that? > Needed to get it inspected today and there was a fear that it wouldn't > pass. You need a code-reader for the newer Impala's, and anything above 1996 if memory serves. Should pass emissions if the CEL lite isn't on and you did not disconnect the battery in the last 50 miles. > On the 2001 Impala's, is it still possible to pull the trouble codes, > or is it just easier to take it to AutoZone or someplace like that?

The performance and mileage aren't suffering, I have 115K miles and still get ~22 mpg for daily driving and ~28 for straight highway driving. This is one of those procrastination problems as my inspection ran out the first of November. Thanks, Gary It can be a emissions related code that will not affect performance but will fail the test. > That's part of the problem, the check engine light has been on for a > few weeks now.

Question: Is there a way to service the EGR valve and possibly cleanup any gunk from the internals? Is this a replacement or recalibrtion fix only? Any other suggestions?

Now I can check that on my '01 Impala, and maybe get rid of that pesky light. -= Larry A. >Update --- > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >> http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups >> ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
