I was on my way to work this morning and my CEL came on, on my lunch break I went to Oreillys for their free CEL diagnostic thing, and the guy said it was an EGR valve. I called autozone (I've never had any bad parts from autozone, and there's one closer to me than an Oreillys) and they could get me one today by 5. After work, I went to the autozone and had them do another diagnostic, and the code was P0400. The guy said there's no real pin point fix, and that I should have it properly diagnosed with a scan tool. Well, seeing as how I already bought the EGR valve I figured might as well try it and if it fixes it, excellent. If not, oh well nobody hates new parts right? Lol. Anyways, on my way home I was trying to listen for pinging or something during acceleration or a rough idle, and suddenly noticed my CEL is off now. Could the EGR valve have been stuck and loosened itself, or something else? Should I go ahead and install the new EGR? Thanks in advance.
