Hey guys,
So, Next month my truck is due for inspection. Now of course my cel had to go ahead and come on this month. The code is P0401(EGR flow insufficient) . In the past I've had this problem and replaced the DPFE sensor which easily fixed the problem. I've noticed over the past couple of weeks my truck has been running a little hotter than normal, especially when I get on the freeway and have to crack the AC on(it's a must in the 104 degree heat we're having right now). In fact, without the A/C the engine temp seems all but fine. But once on, that gage gets up there. My cel came on a couple of weeks before I started to notice the temp. issues. I'd been thinking of replacing the EGR valve anyway, but would that have anything to do with the higher engine temperature?
I realize it's Aug. and I'm in Texas, but I've been driving this Trailhead for the last 7 years(it's got 170K mi on it now) and I've never seen this condition regardless of the weather conditions.
Thanks,
Matt
