Engine Code advice please
My 2.7 '98 Intrepid shows a P0404 code. Explanation is ' The EGR position
sensor makes no sense' Anyone any advice in which way to proceed, or should I just ignore it? Cheers Keith -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

This can be a bad sensor, carbon buildup on the EGR valve itself, or simply a loose/corroded connection. Without a fix, fuel mileage will suffer (for openers). |

Thanks Sharon, it self cleared 4 starts later. When the weather gets a bit
cooler I will take a look at the connections etc, its a bit difficult to get at! You used to be able to lube the EGR Valve on cars.

Engine Code advice please
You do not say how many miles are on the vehicle, but it is common for the
EGR to fail between 75-100K on most cars. It also can trigger a code and then "self-correct", but rest assured it will most likely come back again. It is usually not too difficult to replace for a DIYer. I've done them on the 3.5L and 3.8L, but not on the 2.7L (yet). My 2001 2.7L has just over 63K miles so I expect it will be in my not too distant future. Good luck. Bob "Keith Phillips" > wrote in message .. . > Thanks Sharon, it self cleared 4 starts later.
