Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping to find as much help here as I have found for other vehicles on other forums. Anyways, I have a 2000 3.2TL with 93,000 miles. Yesterday I was going to replace the front rotors. I pulled the calipers and was down to pulling the caliper housing bolts, but they were stuck on way too hard, so I put the pads and caliper back on replaced the wheel and all was good, however, after I had driven for about 5-10 minutes after I left the garage, the Check Engine Light came on. Shortly after that (almost immediately) the TCS light came on. I got off the road and parked the car and shut it off. Sat there for about 2 minutes, started the car, and drove off. The CEL was still on, but the TCS light stayed off for about 10 minutes and then came back on. I brought the car into Checker and had them scan it. (what a pain in the ass it is to get at the comp. connection when the center console is full of spare change) anyways, it's giving a code for EGR valve insufficient flow detected. That was stored as both a trouble code and a pending code. I called Buerkle Acura and the service manager said that the CEL and the TCS lights both being on are probably related. I have never heard of two seemingly unrelated items like an EGR valve problem and the traction control system light running in conjunction all for the same problem. Also, how difficult is it to replace the EGR valve on the TL's? I really haven't done a ton of engine work on this car, although I do feel comfortable working on a car. I've heard from some guys I work with that the EGR is cheap but difficult to replace.
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Kurtis
