Egr Valve

[voz]

Hola.. yes i am new..and yes i tried the search feature!!

A little background.. I got this 00 expy new in 00 sold it to my bro-inlaw in 03 just flew up to NYC to get it saturday.. bro said check engine light was on ..so he took it to a shop in ny and they said it coded egr.. so the fella cleans the valve and the light goes out but comes back on in 2 days he takes it back... picks it up and light is off... kewl right!!

I take it to get state inspection today.. it coded egr again.. and check engine light does not work anymore...

QUESTIONS!!

could i try and get over by removing and cleaning all egr realted hoses, lines and hardware? I know that clogged hoses and lines will still code egr if egr is replaced and hoses are clogged or dirty..

or should my cheap ass just replace them?

I am not going to a stealersgip.. so which online source do you suggest?


Thank You!!

P0401 - EGR Flow Insufficient Detected

That is probably the EGR flow sensor and not the EGR valve. Those things get gummed up with carbon after a while. Ford actually measures EGR flow and not just the EGR position.
