Default egr insufficient flow.! help.!

Hey I got a 2000 accord coupe 2.3ulev and i have a check engine that's been hassling me forever.

Basically I got a check engine light for a bad egr vavle. I replaced it and for about 3 days the light went away. When it returned it had a code (can't remember exact code) for an egr insufficient flow.

What do I have to do, to rid me of this cursed check engine light.?

Refer to this thread:

Probably EGR ports, common problem if it is. But, what is your actual trouble code number?

The code is P0401 and when I checked the tsb's, it show how to fix it but only on v6 models and that doesn't help much on 4cyl.

Check that the electrical connectors for the TPS sensor and map sensor were not switched.

I combined your other separate post.

As stated previously, check the connectors for the two sensors. I believe the MAP sensor connector is gray and the TPS sensor is blue. A lot of people inadvertently reconnect them wrong.
