Hey guys. New here so not sure if this is posted in the right spot.
I have a 2011 transit connect that won’t pass smog due to EGR sensor not being ready and it’s giving me a huge headache. I’m in California so emissions is a hassle. In September I had a small EVAP leak code, I replaced the purge valve but the code came back. I then took it to a shop and they found the vapor canister was staying open by a smoke test. So they replaced it and the code went away.
But since then my EGR sensor will not clear. No other codes or systems not ready. I have done all the drive cycles a dozen times. I drove over 800 miles trying to get it to be ready. I took it back to the shop and they double checked that the systems were functioning properly. Shop told me to drive it more ?
I went ahead and replaced the EGR valve myself and reset the ecu by disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes. I have since drove over 1200 miles and the EGR sensor is still not ready.
I’m pulling my hair out. Do you guys know of anything else I can try?
thanks
