so my cel has been on and off (now you see it now you dont status) since i put my CAI in. and i thought it was just because it was an aftermarket intake and that stuff normally happens so i never checked my OBD.

well today i finnally got around to checking it and there error is "egr low flow"

so now my question is... how in the world do i fix this?

i know what the egr is and that there is probably a clog in a vacuum line somewhere, but what do i do now

Well i had Toyota tell me that mine was my problem. So i looked for one unnsucessfully, broke down and bought one from advanced auto for $186.00. Put it on, and it fixed nothing frown.gif . I tried taking it back and they wont because i have already used it. Bastards............ So make sure its going to fix your problem before you go and buy a new one if you have to.

yup, and if all checks out there, you can remove the EGR valve and pipe, and clean them out.

Heres some things to check for.
1.) ECU Temp sensor on intake
2.) Charcoal canaister
3.) Vaccum lines
4.) Map Sensor

If all, it must be the ECU temp or the canasister. Otherwise do a reset on the ECU and see what happens if you haven't done that yet.

if the vacuum lines are ok i would bet its the vsv hardly ever the egr and the charcoal canister has nothing to do with an egr code. if you want i can get the manual for that code and email it to you, it tells every thing you need to check and how.
