Default Code P0401, any suggestions?

Well, this P0401 code is showing up now. Did a search and only found out it means "Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected" and no discussions about it. Maybe the EGR valve? Any suggestions before I take it to the stealership? Thanks, Neal

Sounds like your car is asking for a turbo!

Funny thing is, this code came up right after the re-tuned ecu was put back into the car.

Write it down, erase it and check to see if it reoccures. Woody

Do you think disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes will reset it? If not, I'll go back to Autozone and have them clear it. Thanks.

Mine is doing the same thing, and no matter how many times I clear it the check engine light keeps coming back on. This is what a member here told me:

It is your air pump relay that might be bad. Youll need to buy the POWER RELAY CONTROL Module(NOT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE). What happens is the pump come on when the car is cold for about 2min and shuts off. The code comes on because the pump is turning on even though the car is warm. All it takes is for it to turn on for a second and turn off and the light will come on for a P0410.

PS My car was sitting for over two months and this problem started after I started it back up for the first time and still hasn't gone away. Looks like I'm going to have to track down that relay he mentioned too.

Thanks for the great input! I'll pass this onto the mechanic and have them look into it. I still have a warranty through July, so hopefully they don't say that my mods were the main cause. I'll probably throw on the stock intake before I head out there.

Did you mean P0401? That is what I'm getting, not P0410.
