It may be that the passage to the exhaust is blocked also.

You need to check the passages from the egr valve to the intake to see if there is excessive carbon buildup thereby blocking the passage to the intake. The principle is that when the test for the code runs it is to determine if the egr system is operating correctly. It opens the egr valve to lean out the fuel mixture an so determine if the system is operating correctly. If the code is for electrical operation of the valve it will be an electrical issue

99 maxima ran till it was parked now it turns over will not start gave code p0400 any ideas

The fault is somewhere around the EGR valve - probably the EGR valve or the throttle position sensor.

Before replacing any sensors try removing and cleaning the EGR.

Here's a Youtube link that may be of help to you:

Code p0400 exhaust recirculation

EGR valve malfunction. The passages beneath the egr valve may be plugged with carbon deposits, restricting or blocking exhaust flow back into the intake. Or the computer control of the vacuum supply to the valve may be compromised. Take the valve off and clean the bottom and the passages, use a new gasket when remounting it. Check operation, valve should raise as warmed engine raises rpm's off idle. Put a finger lightly on the bottom of valve to feel it raise as the throttle is goosed. The valve is closed at idle, but as engine speed increases, valve is raised to allow some exhaust gasses back into the intake.

No vacuum to egr valve

there is an EGR vacuum solenoid somwhere that controls on/off vacuum to actuate the valve. i am not to sure of the location, but follow the vacuum line back from the egr until you find a device that looks like an electrical check valve for vacuum. that is a possibilty. but then again i am a ford,chrysler guy and am just giving you an answer based on my understanding of the functuality of a vacuum egr system

Code P400

Code P400 is an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve malfunction.

These cars are known for the EGR ports getting clogged.

The valves themselves rarely fail.
