Hey all! Just discovered this site whilst trying to find information on how to clean out my EGR system and get rid of that CLE. I just bought a 96 about 2 months ago and love the thing. I've already had to replace pretty much everything related to power steering except the rack and have had to replace a few gaskets and seals so now she's leak free, the only problem I'm having now is that CLE which, according to the computer, is due to a problem somewhere between the MAP sensor and EGR valve, which are both good and I've checked and replaced. as needed, all of the vacuum lines between the two and still have the light. On top of that, when I fire her up she spits out a nice plume of white smoke and idles at about 1200 until I start moving. After that, no more smoke and regular idle speed. If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I am open to just about anything at this point. Thanks.

Yeah, it was P0401, insufficient flow. I will give that modulator a crack and I will try out that Seafoam idea. I work for a certain auto parts store so I'm not too worried about the price. If that doesn't get it, I'm not sure I'm up for getting under the intake until I'm positive that I need to go after the head gasket. Since I'm able to register without emissions, I'm not going to go digging for the VSV unless I have to. Thanks, everyone! Most helpful!
