The code means EGR Insufficient Flow. This does NOT necessarily mean that the EGR needs to be replaced, but there is a problem with it. Take it to a respectable mechanic and have your car tested. Only a service professional who is inspecting your car will know what exactly needs to be replaced.

i need to no what kind of car if it is a ford change tube and check intake hole under egr Yoah, Rob, it's a 1998 CHEVROLET Monte Carlo, says so in the question. A PO401 code doesn't usually mean there is a malfunction in the EGR valve. It often means there is an electrical problem with the EGR to PCM circuit or other sensors. If you have a scanner you can run a complete diagnostic yourself. If not, you will need a garage or dealer to run it for you.
