What is the code? Can't help without the code.
Okay, I will get the code. Thanks
Also....it might help to know which valve was replaced.
code PO401 SYSTEM INSUFFICIENT FLOW DETECTED. I REPLACED THE VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE.
P0401 TOYOTA - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected...Possible causes; EGR passage clogged, Faulty EGR Vacuum Modulator Valve, Faulty EGR Valve, Faulty EGR solenoid valve, EGR solenoid valve harness is open or shorted, EGR solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection, Dead (Weak) battery, Faulty EGR temperature sensor and circuit, Exhaust gas leaks...EGR flow malfunction could be caused by a clogged EGR valve or EGR tube. Before replacing any parts try cleaning the EGR valve, tube and passages.
Tayfree....did you ever resolve the issue with this vehicle?
Hi ,yes I did, it was the modulator. I changed ever thing in the air intake system and the code kept coming on. the modulator was used so I had to buy a new one. thanks for asking
