Check engine codes

Checked for codes on 94 5.0 to see if there was a clue why the engine would idle rough sometimes and if I pressed lightly on gas and let off it would die. But the codes I got seem to have nothing to do with it.

Codes I got were KOER 334 538 536 632
KOEO 334. I tried KOEO at first and nothing came up. Then I did the KOER and those came up and 334 was on when I tried engine off after running.

Also when I did KOER it flashed 4 times then the idle went steady at 1,200 to 1,500 for about 20 seconds. Then I started getting the codes.

334: is the sensor on the EGR valve. So yes, you could definitely have a rough idle if the EGR valve is allowing flow while at idle.

538: you didn’t quickly floor and release the throttle ie operator error

536: brake switch is shorted. Do you have cruise control and/ or brake issues?

632: you didn’t press the OD switch. So once again operator error.

When performing the engine running test you you are required to do things and the computer is checking for a change in status. The increased idle during the test is also normal.

536 is probably operator error as well. Your supposed to hit the brake as well during test right?

Oh I was not aware of pressing things when doing the engine running test. I didn’t do any of those. Yes I do have cruise control but I haven’t tried to use it and no issues with brakes that I can feel. Thanks for the info!

Yes. You are correct. I missed that one.

So I did the test in this https://www.google.com/amp/www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/23-technical-write-ups/218407-egr-valve-position-evp-sensor-testing-replacement.html%3Famp%3D1
thread and got good resistance numbers on the EVP sensor as well as 4.8 volts at the connector. So sensor seems to be good and it looks newer. I also put my finger over the EGR regulator with the cap off and the engine bogged down as it’s supposed to. I guess next is the vacuum check the egr valve. It does look quite rusted so it’s probably old.

From what I have heard the egr vacuum solenoid is supposed to vent so vacuum doesn't bypass the solenoid and stay on. I smoke tested my vacuum system and had a leak at egr valve. Asked about it on this forum and that's what I was told
