Q: Emissions control system complete failure.

asked by on February 14, 2018

I recently replaced the purge valve and the egr valve and erased the codes. Turned car off and turned it back on and the codes were back. Not to mention it’s all the codes for emissions control.

My car has 89000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
