Trouble codes: 16, 24 and 28 - CEL during highway driving

Post by xraycat »

I bought my 92 MX-3 GS 2 weeks ago and have now started seeing the CEL come on after driving on the highway. I grabbed the codes and got them in this order: 16 then 24 then 28.

Anyone know what I should check first to fix this? Thanks.

Oh ya, and when I start the car cold it puffs blue smoke for a bit until it's warm. Should I add that engine stop leak for oil or is there actually something I should look at getting fixed?

16 = EGR Position Sensor

24 = Feed Back system (right side)

28 = Solenoid valve (EGR-vaccum)

If you have blue smoke, you got some oil buring.
Could be piston rings, maybe valve seals.

have you done a compression test?
