CEL on, Scan says PO400 - any ideas? - 4/12/2007 1:47:22 PM    Silvertooth Posts: 1925 Joined: 10/11/2005 Status: offline Kind of self explanatory. 96 3000GT SL, CEL came on. Got it scanned, came up PO400, "Excess Gas Recirculation Flow." I did a search on here for it, so I have a few ideas of what to try, but that was the Eclipse. Was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions as to what to do, 3kGT-wise. _____________________________ Post #: 1

I wouldnt really know... I just know when it throws that code, that it usually means the EGR valve is bad. _____________________________ Current cars: (What I havent wrecked) 1995 Eagle Talon TSi "Jackie" (SOLD) :( 2001 Mitsu.
