I just thought I would chime in here while the subject is up. The PFE sensor on my
'91 was replaced this week to get rid of a code 33 that has been lighting up the CE
light since before my last smog check. That worked and it passed smog fine again.
There was no detectable crud in my EGR passages after 105K miles. Possibly due to my
use of Mobil 1 for the past 50K + ?
