Default EGR codes: P0403 & P0404
P0403 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Solenoid Control Circuit
P0404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Open Position Performance

What should I check/replace with these codes?

Check the connection to the EGR for corrosion. Also check for leaks on the EGR system. Remove EGR and check for open pintel.

The EGR valve is right behind the throttle body near the brake master cylinder.

Just like that the check engine light cleared. All I did was stare at it this morning.

Took it off, sprayed cleaner in it and it worked...for two days. Time to replace it.
