egr temp sensor?

Gotta40 · 06-26-08, 02:26 PM

my 94 4runner needs a egr temp sensor to keep the engine light off. dealer wants $175 for that thing. anyone got a good used one on a parts engine or something? really like to fix this but thats alotta jack. cant pass emissions with the light on.

If you pull the EFI fuse how long does it take for the light to come back on? I'm not saying that hiding the light is the right thing to do, but I know how it is to be short on parts money.

couple of miles. would rather fix it as it seems to run kinda crappy once the engine light comes back on.

Oh, I thought you were just trying to get through an inspection. You could call 1-909-622-1381 and get the guys at california mini-truck to send you a used one, but I am leery of used sensors.

Order one from Cdan on the forum. I think the discount is like 25%.
