Hi,
Is this code related to a clogged EGR Valve?
Thanks
Ed

Clean your egr port. Since you have a 1999 like me there is just one egr port to clean. You need throttle cleaner and a toothbrush or clothes hanger to remove the crud and carbon build up. Takes about half an hour.

You need to remove the plenum and your set.

There is a DYI for it for second gen.
