Stupid EGR flow Code
Stupid EGR flow Code Well a couple weeks ago when I was driving to work this morning, I was going about 60 in 6th gear, the rpms were low and BOOM, yellow light.
Well about a week ago it popped on me in the afternoon so I swung by Autozone and they scanned it for me and the code that came up was P0400 EGR flow malfunction. and it was the same code today.
well when I first put long tubes on my car I would get this code a lot when I would run WOT with the headers open, but I havent had this code since.
I am guessing that maybe something worked loose. Since I recently moved to New Mexico and the roads here SUCK, feels like I am driving on a highway on the bump strip on the side emergency lane. LOL
So I checked and the vacuum lines to the EGR valve and Solenoid and the line from the solenoid to the valve was cracked, so I superglued it together and put a hose over that, so then again the service light came on.
So finally I pulled the lines and they werent leaking and then I noticed the solenoid wasnt seeming to be working, so I replaced it, and still warning light, so I pulled the EGR and it was full of carbon deposits and was very easy to operate so I checked and the diaphram was leaking, so I replaced it and STILL warning light.
So now I am down to the EGR pipe..
well anyways, you guys have any ideas, Ill probably get into it later today when it cools down.
