gerry68 0 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 hi allim a new member ,i bought an 2004 2.ol d4d avensis last week ,on the way home the cheak engine light came on i looked it up and the most common fault listed was the egr valve sticking so i cleaned it up and the same problem came up .code was p0400i got a second hand unit same problem came up so i just bought a new one .even with the new valve the same problem came up i took the first valve off and cheaked the air flow coming from the exhaust and the vacuum going into the inlet and neither where not blocked ?so im thinking either the stainless steel gasket has a problem or the sensor picking up the gas flow into the engine is a fault .any help would be greatly apperciated thankyou .
