Engine codes P0404 & P1414 - what to do?
I am getting the following codes, just bought a scanner. What to do, can the EGR be cleaned instead of replaced?
P0404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Open Position Performance
P1414 Says something like "Emissions Controller"

The EVAP system is trying to tell you something, not sure of that DTC 1414 though. You may have a vacum leak, or one of the valves in the evap sys are failing. Or gas cap is not holding vacum. Could be any number of things, but there'* a few ideas.

P 0404 = EGR System Performance
Will Set off a SES light
P 1414 = None existant. Sure it'* not a P 1404 or 1441?
EGR Valve Closed or EVAP System Flow Durning Non-Purge?

Sounds like it'* sticking shut actually....the EGR also helps to warm the intake air....To warm the motor up quicklky.

If you just unplug it'll give you a light.
Attempt the cleaning and use a fresh gasket. Also try plugging and unplugging the connector about 5 times.

OK - I unplugged it as I don't have time to clean it yet. The hesitation went away completely
What does this indicate? Is is safe for the engine and emissions system to leave it unplugged? will cleaning the EGR still be worthwhile?
