How To Fix a P0401 Due To Clogged EGR Ports On a Ford

In this video I'll show you how to unclogged a restricted EGR port that is causing a P0401 "EGR flow insufficient" on a Ford vehicle that has a DPFE EGR set up. Clogged EGR ports are a common issue no only for Fords but many different vehicles out there. The fix is simple. I also explain how to easily diagnose a clogged EGR port. Note: A faulty EGR valve can also behave like a clogged EGR port.

Note: Please keep all foreign material out of the intake. Do not allow the carbon that is built up in the EGR ports to get into the intake. When done cleaning the ports I would suggest using some compressed air to clean the area around the port and inside the port.

Also, you will need to use your repair manual for instructions on how to access the egr ports for what ever Ford model you are working on.

Note: Some models may have more that one EGR port. Reference your repair manual for more information. These ports may not be visible through the throttle body.
