CEL turns on and off whenever it feels like it
Posted: July 8th, 2011, 8:45 am
About 2 weeks ago, some water got in my alternator and it caused it to stall and not start. After drying out everything was fine, started right up, no charge needed or anything like that. A few days later, my check engine light came on while going up a hill, i pushed the clutch to shift and it went out. A couple days later I was driving on the highway and it came on, i shifted and it went out. Same thing happened the next day. I dont know if this was a coincidence or not?? This morning it went on and off 5 times on an 8 mile trip. It stayed on for about 5 seconds each time. My car seems to be running fine until I come to a stop and it bogs alot more than it did (suprised it stays running). I already read something about the light going on and off being a soft code?? Or something along those lines. I pulled the codes and got code 16, something with the EGR valve?
Any help is appreciated as I would like to try and get to this problem before it is too late. Thanks
