Best Answer

The exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) is an emissions control system that recirculates some of the exhaust gas back into the intake in order to re-burn any excess fuel vapor that leaves the engine. It is basically operated by a valve to control circulation. "Valve lift insufficient" means that the valve is not opening enough to circulate exhaust gas as much as the engines computer deems necessary. The vehicle will not pass an emissions test in this condition.

P0401 "egr insufficient flow" can indicate many things, including: 1-vacuum line plugged or leaking 2-pipe from exhaust to egr valve plugged 3-pipe to vacuum modulator valve from egr valve plugged 4-passages at egr are plugged 5-bad egr valve 6-bad EGR VACUUM MODULATOR VALVE I tried cleaning egr modulator valve, (beside/above egr)removed and tested egr vacuum & movement, inspected and cleaned all vacuum lines openings and pipes. All above did not work. I replaced the egr vacuum modulator valve. Light went out without a reset in about 30 miles of driving. Not sure if this valve can be cleaned. Retails for $69.US

How do you repair p0401?

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has insufficient flow. It could be caused by the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor being faulty, there t is a blockage in the EGR tube (most likely from carbon buildup), the EGR valve is bad, or the EGR valve may not be opening.

P1491 EGR Valve Lift Insufficient Detected how do i fix this problem?

depending on your mileage, if you have less than 80,000 miles or car is not older than 8 years old the dealer will actually fix it for free. Honda extended the warranty for that. if not it gets complicated you have to remove the intake manifold and drill out the egr passage then replace the valve.
