    uh oh. I got a P0401 code thrown on my way to work tonight. "EGR Insufficient flow rate detected". I guess not...with a fricken block-off plate installed! Now I got to decide if how good she runs now is worth either ignoring the light (on most of the time anyways for EVAP fault over last few years!) or removing the bulb

    I didn't anticipate flow rate detection as on previous vehicles the EGR had no way to detect this.

    I think I'm gonna pull the bulb as I tried once to fix the EVAP problem (broken wire discovered when we dropped my fuel tank to mount my rear baja style tire carrier...there is a T.S.B. out from ISUZU concerning this broken wire too...fixed wire...EVAP still fails! Figure it most likely is the purge valve.)
    Figure if I pull the bulb I'll do periodic code reads (what I do now anyway since light is almost always on!)


    On a final note...I swear my gas mileage today was better than normal as I usually can't get more than 40-50 and rarely 60 miles on the first quarter tank...today I've got 45 and its showing 1/8 tank consumed.

    That sounds about right. My mileage is starting to come up too, as the cold weather subsides...almost identical to yours.

    I'm gonna re-set the ECU before I head out Moab way, to see if I can pick up a few mpg.
