 p1404 EGR So last summer car had NO egr issues, no codes. I got it out of storage and it was throwing :
P0404 and P1404 were being thrown.
I took off the EGR and cleaned it, then I had light coming on with P1404 when I was just driving in town.
I went to my buddy and grabbed a good known EGR and installed it. The in town issues were gone, but I was throwing a P1404 on the highway. Id clear it on the fly and 10-15 min later it pops back on. So I cleaned that tube that goes from the intake to the EGR (which didnt have any carbon build up).
Stupidly I assumed the EGR I got from my buddy was a good clean unit. Last night, at my whits end, soaked it in carb/choke cleaner and sprayed it all out. Installed it this morning and drove the 100KM to work, and so far no light.
Lesson, never assume lol.
Now its time for my Tune (next week) and Ill be back up to spec.
