Throwing a code
My car is throwing the code P0401
 which is insufficant EGR flow or somthing like that. What could I do to fix this is, there some way that I could clean out the EGR valve, or would that matter? Help a brother out.

Well it only tightens down 1 click, but I opened it and screwed it back down and started the car and there was no Engine light(I guess its fixed), why would the gas cap no being tight throw that code about low EGR?

So means that it may not be fixed because its only monitored during driving and when I started it a minite ago I didn't drive it so the egr wasn't on, is that right?

replace your gas cap, its pretty common failure. It went away when you tightened it down, but came back down the road...i'd say your gas cap has a bad seal on it.
