[Spridgets] My Youtube...Auto related just not LBC paperclip method to read check engine light.

Lin,
 
Looks similar to this quik link I founf on a Buick site
:http://www.gnttype.org/maint/malf.html
 
I suspect this code was common on all GM cars.
 
If it is your EGR valve, I suspect at a minimum it is caked with carbon
and so the pintle needle may not be moving as it should. I have heard of
people removing them and cleaning them with a wire brush, but I've never
done it myself. The only car I had with an EGR valve is my 1500 Midget,
and I ditched that thing as soon as I could! ;)

method to read check engine light. 

List, 
Below is my youtube link for my check engine light. I used the paperclip
method to get the flashing light code and I was only able to locate a 
Cadillac code chart which I also posted below. It looks like I have 3
long 2 
short flashes which means EGR faulty circuit. It should read 12 to start
as 
normal then the error flash code, doesn't it look like 32? 

Now to search on how to test the EGR valve (if the code chart for
Cadillac 
is the same as Saturn.
