Thanks for the tip. I had this code on my mazda 6 and cleaned the EGR valve
and the passage way with carb/choke cleaner. Code is gone. Only costs 45
mins of my time. Awesome
hi skotty , i have the problem whith my mercedes 2005 c 1.8 petrol
compresor Fault code P201B-032 – Misfire on cylinder 3, damages TWC fuel
deficiency . what i need to do
Hello My car is coming up with the p1401 code and the car shop wants to
charge me 300 for cleaning the egr passage and another 230 if the valve is
bad what do you reccomend?
I get the code every now and then on my 376k mile Maxima. The plenum was
gunked up years ago when I took it off the car about 10 years ago but it
hasn’t gunked up since. I had to replace the rear vavled cover gasket
recently so I know it’s not clogged. Sometimes I think just spraying
cleaner into the egr itself is the best thing after cleaning the plenum.
Maybe Seafoam it.
my car will idle very crazy like the die i have this code on my eclipse
could that be what making do that
2:05 their is a leaf in the throttle body. Huge fail.
I have a 2003 Mitsubishi galant and have the codes p0401 and p0403. Any
ideas on how to fix it or where to start.
I have a 2001 toyota camry CE 2.2L with the P0401 code. Can I follow the
same cleaning process? what are your thoughts about changing the egr VSV.
i have 2001 mitsubishi eclipse spyder gt v6, 3.0 and i have the code P0403,
how do i fix that?? does anyone know
I cleaned my intake, replaced the EGR valve with a new one to find out that
my modulator is bad. I switched it with one i found at the junk yard and
the vacuum hose that connects to the EGR valve finally started sucking at
idle. but my car starts stalling when i connect the hose and the EGR valve
stays sucked, not sure if thats normal, but when i remove the hose the car
stops stalling. Any suggestions? 2004 Kia Optima 2004 2.4L.
Would this be the same method for code P0404?
Scotty, thank you for the awesome videos. I have definitely learned a lot
from you. I have a 1999 Accord V6 and I took off the intake plate and
cleaned the EGR port thoroughly, I took the EGR valve off and cleaned out
the bottom of it where the passage is – careful not to get throttle body
cleaner on the top part (electrical portion). Put it back together, took
the car for a long drive and the light came back on. How can I check if
the EGR valve itself is good? Could it also be an electronic thing like
the computer throwing codes? The EGR passage is very clean…. Thanks
Scotty
Mr: Kilmer, First off I’d like to thank you for making the auto repair
help/guiding videos that you make, you are an inspiration for people like
me that enjoy working on vehicles, but sometimes run into issues that are
easily solved by watching your videos. I just have one question for
you…how many cars do you have???
What if it’s a diesel engine? Same procedure? Golf mk5 1.9tdi
I have a 2000 toyota solara and the alternator won’t charge. Also my
console odometer and rpm doesn’t work I changed my interior fusebox and
things still don’t work I’m thinking it’s the ECM needs to be changed or
reprogrammed? I need help Scotty
great videos
Scotty I have a 2003 santa fe same code already replaced egr twice code
still up. Egr in back manifold in front tj think it’s the same thing unless
it has another in back I don’t know please help
Scotty could you help me, what should i do with this code in my Toyota
4runner 96 4×4.. P0446 Evaporative Emision Sistem Vent Control Circuit.
Thank you vey much..
i got a p0401 code, i replaced the EGR valve, but the code came back after
reset. Now i am trying to get to the intake manifold to clean the carbon
but there are so many things in the way, looks impossible. Kia Optima 2004
2.4L. Any suggestions? The haynes manual is very vague.
Scot – I have codes P0401 and 0420 showiug up – will this fix both of them
Replaced ECM car still wont start
Thoughts on a EGR delete? I heard its “tech for offroad use only”. But
I’m sure it don’t effect emissions much.
Fixing EGR Low Flow Code P0401
Oh man! you totally helped me solve my EGR problem with this, now I can
pass emissions testing!!
I have an issue with an 02 Malibu 3.1L that shows the P0401 code. The car
was stalling and dying while driving. It just had a new muffler installed
as well. Any thoughts?
