2002 Camaro Convertible Spitting out ODBII codes: P1404, P0404

P1404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Pintle Stuck Open P0404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Circuit Range/Performance



V6 3.8L Spitting out the above codes.. There was also another code that was since erased regarding something to do with a solenoid (real specific, I know).



I had been reading somewhere that solenoid degradation could affect the performance of the EGR valve.



My question is basically this:



While I could simply clean the valve as a possible low-cost fix (my vehicle has a HORRIBLE rough idle at times), is it possible that there is a problem with the solenoid; which in turn affects the EGR valve; which in turn fills up the cabin with rancid smoke?

Replace the EGR would be my first move. Autozone carries one for your car for 129.99 and the gasket for a little over a dollar. For something like this, as in computer reliant, I?d have a shop determine the best course of action. Let them diagnose the problem and tell you what to fix.
