Code Read P0401

Hi,

I just read a P0401 - Exhaust recirc Gass too low? what could be causing that to happen?

Prior to this, I pulled a P1442 - Evac code - replaced the gas cap, (brand new from Dealership)

are these related in some way? or do I have a new problem?

I cleared the code this morning.

Thanks

Different problem, this has to do with the EGR. Do a "search" on EGR, lots of good advice.

I just fixed mine today that had the same reading. Replaced the pressure sensor---about $35 at Auto Zone.
