ive got a 98 kick with a check eng light on says egr bad ive cleaned every thing changed the egr valvle and other parts yes ive cleaned the tube along side the engine the light still returns     well im done since ive cracked the cluster gauge cover and have to remove  an replace   should i take out the bulb or let it bother me every day?                   is the gauge cluster hard to repomove on a 98 kick any help ive only seen 2 bolts on the top section.Hawk says to change out the whole top half of the engine intake or to cover light wbalck tape...............HELP

I cleaned mine and had to go through a drive cycle to get the light to come off.... Have you done the drive cycle???

whats the drive cycle? i did a search and got alot of stuff nothing relates to" DRIVE CYCLE"

There is a "routine" that the computer goes through and checks everything... I failed my emissions and went and cleaned my egr , removed my battery for 10 minutes to "reset" the light, then went back, light was off but the computer kept saying it was not ready.... The guy gave me a sheet of  funky driving instructions to allow it to go through everything at different rpm and speeds.... drove for 12 minutes and went back and it passed.... I got this info from a jiffy lube safety/ emissions guy...

Hope this makes sense and helps....

yes it helps but i need the instructions on how to set the "drive cycle"



 anyone know what we are talking about? Lil help please>>>...>>>

I think you can just drive it on hwy and on roads for a day and cover all the cycles... the instructions for the quick cycle hits all the main points and is hard to follow in traffic.... talk to a jiffy lube guy if you have one near by....

Go to an auto parts store (autozone does it in my area for free) and have them hook up their scanner to the vehicle and clear the codes......that is what I did to my 96 (I had the same problem....EGR code, cleaned all the EGR passages, cleared the codes and it has not returned yet).

IIRC, if you want to wait for the code to clear its self it takes like 50 start cycles for it to do it.....easier to just have the code cleared.
