Clean the EGR air passage tube.

Carbon built up is worst inside this air passage tube.

You will need Seafoam or WD-40 and LOT OF TIME to clean out this tube.

A vacuum will help speed up the cleaning.


Please post more information on the comment window.

How do I Fix a PO401 code for a 1997 Ford Explorera with a 5.0 engine

po401 is insufficient air flow from EGR valve. check the vacuum hoses from egr, if ok, remove or test the egr valve itself and try to clean it out. Good-Day! It may just be sticking, from carbon buildup.

Po401 ive cleaned the egr & replaced the egr but i keep getting this code??

depending on your model, there may be a solenoid valve that turns the vacuum to the egr valve on. If the solenoid fails, the egr valve will not open. Follow the vacuum line on the egr valve--does it go to a solenoid valve? If yes, apply 12 volts directly to the solenoid blades to see if it clicks open. If it doesn't click, replace the solenoid.

Engine light on code reads po401

I believe this code is insufficient EGR flow. On this engine, the passages to the EGR valve often become carboned up and cause this code. Remove the EGR valve and inspect the passages to see if they need to be cleaned.
