Best Answer

Code P0401 code is : Exhuast gas recirculation, insufficient flow detected

chances are either EGR valve has gone out (by air cleaner) or the tube in the manifold is clogged. I would check tube first, use only carberator cleaner on these parts, if you damage them then you will have to buy a new one. Haynes Repair Manuel will show you how to remove.
