This morning while i was driving to school, my check engine light came on while i was climbing a very steep hill going 50 mph. now i hear a whining from the side the belt is on and a very faint knocking sound that wasnt there before. i checked the belt and its fine. does anybody have any ideas as to what may have happened??

Maybe low on power steering fliud? Either that or a pulley going bad.
And stop by an Autozone and have the code read and post it here so we don't have to guess at what the issue may really be.

Get the code read first. It's free at about ANY autoparts store. Knocking doesn't sound good to me.

haha you can say that again.. Some autozones arnt doing the free checks anymore, so just call before you waste your time going up there.Originally Posted by bluegtp91

Well! it must not have been a big deal. the light went away and stopped making that noise before i had time to go and get it checked. still wonder what it was tho

The light came back oni just went to autozone and had a scan. this is what it said:
P1404
Definition - EGR Valve stuck open condition
Explanation - While monitoring the EGR valve pintle position the ECM detected the closed position sensor voltage higher than the learned closed position voltage
Probable cause - Failed EGR Valve, Carbon blockage of the pintle

i went and took the egr off and cleaned it out with carb cleaner and let it sit for the day. put it back on let the car warm up and drove for about ten minutes. when i was in park i noticed that it idles lower now?? between 1 or 2 notches below 1000 rpm is that normal?

Idle should be at like 800, If it was at 1000 you have a problem.

oh good :] since i got the car it had been idling at 1000. it just seemed that now at 800 it ran a little rougher than before but its not very noticeable
