p1404 i believe is the code. Truck has 215k miles on it. Problem with the truck is, no power. Hardly any power. Plugs and wires recently replaced and that fixed a problem we were having not enough power to climbn a hill) but I am not sure when this problem started. (parents vehicle). So when you accelerate, very little power but enough to drive it around. If you punch it from a stop, it tops out at 4500 rpm and then won't shift. And for the record, I can hear a clicking nose that sounds tranny related. (really fast clicking.) and idea's?

 

Heres what i found dont know if its your problem but it doesnt hurt to check it out

P1404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Pintel Stuck Open

 

would that be causing the problem I'm having? Anyone know what I can do to check it?

 

bump, need some help here if any knows

 

are you sure that is the code, cause i dont think they use that code for an 01 sport trac

 

psu remove your EGR valve and check it for carbon build-up... sometimes a chunk of carbon can get wedged in there and hold it open a bit. Clean it as good as you can, and work the pintle up and down manually.. make sure it works smoothly. If it's so bad you can't move it, buy a new EGR valve.

And yes this can cause a bit of a misfire and lack of power.

Good luck
