What is a pintle position sensor?
a pintle position sensor tell the engine computer what the exact position of the egr valve is
What is Code p1406?
This code indicates a problem with the EGR valve's pintle position. The EGR Valve's pintle could just be stuck in which case the problem could be fixed by cleaning the EGR valve. If the EGR valve is electronically controlled or cleaning the valve does not fix the problem, you will most likely have to replace the EGR Valve. Keep in mind that the EGR valve relies on inputs from other sensors to determine the pintle position. If one of these other sensors is not operating correctly, it could be giving you a false P1406 error code.
What does p1406 mean on a 96 gmc jimmy?
You have a problem with the EGR system, the pintle positon circuit.
Where is the egr pintle on a 1994 Buick Le Sabre?
Its inside the egr valve whether digital or conventional, its basically the door that opens up for emmissions and no2 mixtures.
Your 95 blazer service engine light is on and the code you got was p1406 manufacturer control auxiliary emission controlany one have a idea what this means and how to find problem?
Code 1406 is EGR Valve Pintle Position Circuit Error. As far as your EGR "pintle position" code is concerned. Your EGR valve is sticking or malfunctioning. Remove and CAREFULLY clean the EGR valve shaft and it's passages in the engine and reinstall with a NEW gasket. If this does not resolve the problem, replace the EGR valve.
What does the code P1404 mean for a 2001 Pontiac Aztek?
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Pintle Stuck Open
How do you clean EGR valve 05 Chrysler 300?
It is best to replace it. The failure happens in the electrical part of the valve, not the pintle and seat.It is best to replace it. The failure happens in the electrical part of the valve, not the pintle and seat.
Where is the EGR pintle position circuit located on a 350 Vortec 96?
The sesor is located in the egr valve which is in the center of the engine, on top. just to the left of the thermostsat/heater hose entering the engine
Where is the EGR valve located on a 1999 Chevrolet S10 SFI four cylinder?
this egr valve is a PCM (powertrain control module) controled pintle at the intake manifold. there is a thin tube running from the exhaust manifold around the firewall side of the engine to the EGR module?, this isn't a vacuum/sileniod controled EGR. It is a Linear control system, the pintle allows exhaust gas to flow based on the VSS(vehicle speed sensor) IAT(?) and coolant temperature sensor.Good luck
What does does a check engine light 1404 mean on a 99 sc1?
The EGR valve is sticking open You can remove and try to clean it but most likely you will have to change it. Cleaning rarely works. The code description is EGR pintle position error
Where is the EGR valve on a 1986 Mazda B2000?
The EGR valve is located below the carburetor on the intake manifold on the passenger side of the engine compartment. The EGR passageway runs from #1 exhaust port through the cylinder head and intake manifold. The EGR valve is controlled with engine vacuum that is modulated by a computer controlled solenoid. Mounted inside the EGR valve is a pintle position sensor, when the computer detects it is not moving when vacuum is applied the computer triggers a code for the EGR. Removing carbon build up and then reset the computer to bring the EGR back into normal operation. See attached link for diagram showing location.
Code 1404 Saturn car?
Code p1404 is Egr pintle position error. If you remove the valve you will find it stuck closed or heavily carboned and sticking open You can try to clean it but most times it needs replacing
