'01 4.6L getting EGR code P0401
. Yea, subbed in a good size Turbo around where an EGR would be,- IF it was part of the mix..Tumba, I thought you where going to make a write up(how -to) out of the info I posted earlier , -and send me residual checks every quarter?

____
Nah, lol - It would be easier to figure out if he just started where I did that day, when I posted the vid,- and compare to that. Voltage can vary, but there is a greater than/less than threshold and he's beyond that, - or the meters set wrong.
Wheres that thread where I sortuh drew a quick map , I don't want to write that out again? I can't locate it.. ?

The 160G Road Grader and D8L (CATS) @ the site both have 24v systems. I can pimp to 12 real easy tho

Well, you may have done a little prep work, but I put the asphalt down for yuh. Edit, copy, past, call it yours. The you'll can play BigChief =

I understand . I have 112 things started and completely undone :o
Lets see 
Edit:
That's it! - jackhammer Test it like that , -it's fast an easy. That will tell you if everything is on the up and up.
BTW- Where in the hell did you learn how to "Suck Test" the EGR valve? That isn't right, just look-up Suck test on the site for the right info, - Remember put that Haynes book away for now, that will mess you up. It's not bad info in that manual, - it's more of a little chunk of Ford Diagnostics. Yea , Look up Suck Test. That has to be performed right in order to move on. Maybe Tumba can explain that one to you, -very easy.

You know I'm not going to copy that. I was using it trying to help, and even posted the link to it. The picture source was even from your album.

I won't do it again. Have a good day.
You Da man!
BOYS! BOYS! If you can't play nice, it's time out for you two! 
Ya Tumba, I think the ports still have to be clogged, so it's back to the cleaning board with another set of stems and B12. I'll let you two scrappers know provided you behave!
I'm lost ? What did I say ? I think having Tech Artical Contrib under your name is pretty cool. But I'm not doing it , so go ahead Tumba - Honestly , I don't care at all, - wish you would.
Not sure what you took wrong, but if you want, put that info to good use if you have the time. That's what I thought you was after back then? Or were you trying to get me to do it lol.
Oh Well, -Not sure what your cheesed about ?
Hell wid it - BiteMe

Mornin fellas... Sittin here suckin' down some java, contemplating the finishing of the tb cleanup (round 2) and a question popped in my half awake head... does the functioning/not functioning egr system have an impact on fuel mileage? I presume that egr stands for exhaust gas recirc and if so how does that (if it does) have an impact on fuel mileage? <yawn> Thank God for spell check. I've misspelled enuff times in this post already. I'm still half asleep
Tumba - Drugs kick in yet ? Man I'm sore this morning, - Way to much Wax on,Wax off action last night. Hope I feel better later, I have to drink tonight.
.
jackhammer , I never heard of anyone cleaning the TB/Elbow assembly ports twice in a row , -what happened? Did you get more gasket as well , -hope so, at least two.
Yea like I posted earlier- suck test right this time and test ALL voltages and wite them down. Like I did,-Tumba post the link. Do it just like athat afoer the Suck test so you can make a little headway with the proble.

I had him do it that way because he said the suck test made no difference. I just wanted to know if air was heard seeping around the diaphragm. I thought it was of relevance. Maybe not. But if he got chemicals in the valve, wouldn't he hear the leak?

Ok jb... here ya go..Suck test complete w/engine off and NEW valve functioning perfectly. Movement heard, no hissing.
Suck test complete w/engine ON... no stalling/no change in engine idle at all
KO EOFF
vref is 5.04 from the front
and center back probed is .01 -.02
NEW OEM DPFE back test complete, idle 17.2v at rev goes up to 20.2v
meter is set for DCV (just in case ur wondering)
Idle RPM 700 AC on-750 AC off
I did all this before and posted it with Tumba while you were AWOL and Tumba was hollering for you like DeNozo hollers for Gibbs

BTW, how did I suck test wrong before?

i tell yuh good help is hard to find these days
nah just kidding
so the valve is opening and closing properly? but doesnt bog the engine down? yea it sounds like the ports didnt get cleaned up.
17.2v at the dpfe? its only got a 12v battery in it
or do you mean milivolts? you may want to double check that one.
Yes, something is up with that voltage.(Do you have the decimal point in the right place?) It's way out of range. Jbrew, maybe on the road working or something.
Did you take the EGR valve off of it? idk how well you cleaned the valve body, but I just don't see how it could plug back up that quick.
What code are you getting now?
