code 32 set on highway?
Since I've had my vette (year&half), I've had the code 32.
I cleared the code and didn't get it back until I ran it on the highway.
I remember reading a post about this, and tried to find it on the search, but that only led to frustration
.
On my scanner it shows the egr opening and closing, the O2 is all over the place (I understand that's a good thing).
At idle my tps is ay .44?
I saw the code get set as I was driving on the highway, becauase I had my scanner on my lap and was checking specifically for that.
Any ideas?
Thanks?

EGR solenoid/switch usually, it just happens to function in hwy use more because you meet all EGR conditions there.
TPS should be .54V

This is just going on my thread about the dreaded "code 32"....
Somebody mentioned that you'll get the code on the highway, especially when you're using the cruise. Something about the throttle being in a constant position for 5 or 10 minutes.

If it sets the code, then you need to troubleshoot EGR. You'll need to go through the manual.
See my website for TPS/IAC cleaning procedure, you need to do this before replacing any EGR parts. Always fix things at the front of the intake tract first.

Does the 91 have the egr Temp switch on the crossover?If so,see if its broken or coming apart,very common cause of code 32 on certain L98's...same with egr vacuum lines,make sure they all fine and not broken.

Check the EGR valve itself, too. The diaphragm on them can break or they can get clogged up with carbon to the point they no longer function.

the 91 doesnt have a temp switch, same thing happened to my 91, EGR solenoid is probably the culprit, mine was the park nuetral switch on the shifter, but that is the rare case
the EGR system comes on when the motor is up to operating temp and you are at a cruising throttle, it wont come on at high throttle. Thats why it comes on durring highway driving, that means the system will not turn on. The system itself is designed to reduce combustion temps by reintroducing exhaust gas into the intake, the LT and LS motors dont use is because they have reverse cooling.

LS engines dont use it because they just dont need to, not because of the cooling.

My 92 did the same thing. I got a can of cat converter safe throttle body spray cleaner and gently lifted the pintle and sprayed it around the opening. Been fine for over a year now. Got that tip here by the way.
