My EGR light has been on for a bit. Finally had time to stop by the shop and get them pulled.
P0401 EGR flow
P0299 Turbo under boost.

I haven't done any mods or changes to this system, but I have seen an excess of smoke at start up. (see my previous post, it seems to be from the ccv).

I am not sure where to start .

thx

doing a bit of research. A busted FCV explains a lot of my symptoms.
* I get a shudder when accelerating. Smooths out after a few seconds
* Turbo has a bit of extra oil at the inlet (side effect?)
* Getting the EGR code and the Turbo code. From a lack of air caused by the stuck FCV ?

I've read some post of people just moving them to the 'on' position then unplugging them. I have to pass emissions soon. Will an unplugged FCV throw a code?

thx

It is not your FCV, that would give a P1140 code if it was the cause. You will not pass emission inspection with a CEL on. P0401 is EGR insufficient flow and P0299 is turbo underboost. Both are related and caused by a poor performing EGR circuit.

So does that mean I need to pull all the EGR stuff off the Jeep and give it a good clean?

[edit]
And then install an EHM or Provent. :D
