Default Re: RCM repair fixes most code P0410 issues?

I've about had it with this code too. Nothing but a VERY expensive "lets just start replacing stuff" scheme. My car coded and actually the smog pump was dead. No doubt. I tried to jump it through the relay block and nothing. Pulled it out and sure enough it was full of water. I bought another, $149.00 and it definitely worked when direct jumped to relay. I took the car to my mechanic and we cleared the code. Went in and passed a two year emissions, and sure enough shortly thereafter it coded again. Keep in mind the initial "suggested" problem was the relay at about $300 new, not the smog pump. Now it doesn't even show a "suggested" fix. Just a code PO410. So what....spend $1000 on part replacement? Total joke.

Last week I changed the SC pulley and found a tube, elbow shaped, coming off the EGR solenoid with nothing connected to it except some sort of cap looking thing an outlet going nowhere. I subsequently found a clear plastic tube hanging behind the SC pulley. In trying to connect the two, logically thinking they must be related, I pulled the clear plastic tube loose from whatever it connected to at the rear, driver's side of the motor. I can't find any schematic at all that shows how that EGR is plumbed so no idea what it is other than a guess; a redirect of exhaust gases into the exhaust manifold.

This is a flaw in the SRT6. This code pops up constantly on this and other forums/links. Stealerships only answer with "bring it in and we'll take a look." Yah right.....at $100 an hour in the same part change out we can do alone. I wish I could find a flipping schematic for the EGR solenoid plumbing. The only one I can find has the tubing coming off the solenoid but not where they attach. Time to unhook the negative and clear the computer so the damn check engine light goes off for another 100 miles. Tired of it. Worse thing is we sit in the emissions station and watch smoking oil burners driving away with a "passed" paper in their hands and we are sitting there in cherry cars failing. If it wasn't for my mechanic clearing the code for me I would still be trying to pass that test.

Anyone who can find a schematic for that EGR solenoid please get it to me. Maybe that's what my issues is.
