Egr - P0405

[Ascinder]

Mine came on once going up a trail to go shooting with Bart. I pulled it off and cleaned some carbon buildup off with a piece of wire and made sure the valve moved freely. No problems ever again.

These SOBs get so carbonated so fast it's sick. I have a spare that is quite crusty and am considering literally tearing it apart to see just HOW thorough we can get when cleaning them and the ease of it (or lack of).

I believe I am on my 3rd.

Is yours an oil burner??

That would clog up the EGR pretty quick.

It would be interesting to see if there is a direct correlation between clogged EGR's and oil usage.

Mine doesn't burn oil, and EGR has never been off the motor that I know of.

Hi guys, if there any instructions posted to get this EGR valve and the base cleaned? Thanks for any tip.

For the blinking trans light;I got your very same problem. How I fixed? Check the connection or the coolant sensor itself. Really, not a joke. That was my problem, it even get the idle speed very high. This car has so many co-related sensors that you never know which one its the faulty one. As you know almost four sensors controls the TOD; TPS, ABS,etc. Even the odometer is electrical.
