P0401 EGR CODE after delete

Well it only took a whopping 156 miles before it popped up lol.
Just to make sure--it won't have a detrimental affect on the engine performance not having the egr turned off will it? Gonna be awhile before I get a tuner.

I believe if your EGR is deleted your fan will not work properly unless you leave the valve plugged in

Yea that I knew and I actually left it in the hole as well (and plugged in of course) so I suppose other then needing to be plugged in it the cel doesn't cause any adverse effects? I figured that was the case--just wasn't sure.

I'm in the same boat as you. I sent gearhead automotive a email through there "contact us" link on there website with a few questions sunday , hopeful they will get back with me soon. For those of you who have tunes from them, what is the best way to get ahold of them? Not trying to hijack.

Do you have Matt's tele #? I had no issues calling him direct but that was a few years ago. My phone doesn't allow me to pm you the number. If you still need it when I get home I'll pm the number to you on computer

I had an EGR delete with the valve still there and plugged in and had the CEL on for over a year until I finally got a tuner. No issues in the mean time. I got the SCT X4 7015 off ebay brand new for 300$. I don't have any custom tunes but plan to do so soon...

The only issue would be if a new code is triggered you would not know it unless you routinely scan for them.

Good point--I'll have to start checking at fill up or something. Courses I'll probably catch an issue before since I watch my numbers like a hawk.
