CEL : CODE 28 Solenoid valve - EGR

Sup Fellas,

I just got a used 93 FD ( my second FD after almost 8 yrs) over the weekend from this site and on the way home, low and behold, the CEL goes on. I check the code and it's showing code 28. I don't feel anything wrong with the car other than the 3K hesitation. I am in California so I guess I have and EGR. I just wanted to know your guys' input. I did a search on Code 28 and nothing came up and tried reading up on EGR's but I'm not sure what to do from this point on. Is this a really big concern?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance....

That's the code for the solenoid itself. Check the vacuum diagram to see which solenoid is for the EGR:

You probably have one of the following problems:

* Solenoid has failed and needs to be replaced
* Harness connector to the solenoid is not properly attached
* Short in the wiring harness to that connector for the solenoid

Usually as an initial test, you can swap a known good solenoid for the one throwing the code to see if the code goes away. If it does, that points directly at a faulty solenoid. If the code doesn't go away with the known good solenoid, then you have a wiring issue.
