I have an 04 F250 6.0 diesel with 175K miles. About a week or so i noticed there is not much power starting off but seems to get better as I drive. I took the EGR valve out lat weekend and cleaned it, but boy oh boy was it dirty. Put it back in but really didnt see a difference. Well yesterday when I got in it the check engine light was on, took it and the the code read and the P2262 was found. Could the ERG valve be bad or where should I start to look. I can hear the turbo whining as I accellerte but really have no clue what it is, need some help here. thanks
P2262: Stuck turbo, MAP sensor, MAP hose plugged up; sensor unplugged, or leaking, CAC leaks, intake leaks, exhaust restriction, EBP sensor or EBP tube plugged. This code is set when MGP does not go above 5 kPa or 0.7 psi when the following conditions are met: rpm must be above 2800; VFDES above 20; and EGRVP is below 0.10. All of these conditions must be met for 5 seconds for the code to be set.

I've seen hellacious worse. It's actually not that bad.
IIRC that "list" of conditions I posted is the detailed description of what causes that code as Bismic posted it. I do not know what all the abbreviations mean.
so should I lean more looking at the MAP sensor for now?
Before you condemn the MAP sensor, there are two things you can do. First, monitor BARO, MAP and EBP_A readings at key-on/engine-off. All three should indicate about 14.3 psi (or whatever atmospheric pressure is in your geographical location), give or take and be within 0.5 psi of each other. If all three indicate similar, pull the MAP sensor hose from the intake manifold and blow into it (YES, I said blow into it). Do you see the reading respond? If yes, you have no issue with the MAP sensor. If no, you likely have a blocked up hose, or the MAP sensor is faulty.

Like M-chan said Blow into it.
Just watch out for the black after mark from the hose.
