Ok so im out driving and on a weekly basis i check my codes... and tonite i pull the code PO401... Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Insufficient Flow ....

I read about possible causes and stuff to check.. anything particular on this car i should check first?

i have a 98 elclipse rs(t) 420a motor...

my main concern is that its going to mess with timing or something serious that can cause problems!!

Does the EGR system in my car have any effects on anything like that???

 

The EGR system is strictly emmisions related. It will not do anything with your timing. There is a Blockoff kit you can get if you are looking to remove the EGR system.

 

im assuming once i get the egr block off... ill pull a code still... is there a fix for that?? also ive heard that some cars will have excess pressure build once the egr is blocked.. is that tru with our cars???

 

Here you go...

Might be able to fool it with a resistor or something. Check on 2gnt and see what they do to fix the code when they block off the EGR.

 

Whats with all of these EGR questions lately? lol

Try searching before you post, but gluck fixing your prob. All the info has already been stated.
