Sentra 96 GXE - P0400 egr code

philb00 · May 17th, 2008, 10:07 AM

Got nissan sentra gxe '96 wiht 120,000 miles

got p0400 EGR code happening on/off for about year going now...

If have a hole or leak in exhaust system - pipes , muffler etc - would this cause the P0400 code ?
Or is maybe just the EGR needs cleaning or could be itself gone bad ?

I know some egr repairs cost upwards $400 or more I heard... can't handle that.
THANKS!

check the rubber hose comming out of the valve and going back to the engine. its probably deteriorated and that can be changed very easily and its a $2 hose at autozone. search here for more, but that should be the problem

Hi
Thx for hint - did your 97 Sentra ever have this EGR problem?

Can you send pic or weblink to show where the EGR is or this rubber hose talking about might be located ?
I have hard time even finding the EGR.

(I searched thru lots of posts about this already)

Thx
