ok so ive been struggling with this problem for a few days now and its getting quite annoying. When im driving down the road somethime my car will sputter , it doesnt matter if im giving it throttle or not it just sputters and sometimes it will die while sputtering. Evertime i get time to look at it i let my car sit there and idle and it wont do it, so naturally i cleared the codes and drove my car around for a while until it did it again, i scanned it and came up with a p0401 and p0107, the 107 is a code that ive had the whole time which i think is because of my intake so im not worried about that one, but the 401 is a egr code, my question is would the egr cause the car to die like that it is an intermittent problem, and wouldnt a stuck open egr cause it to run bad all the time? anyways please help i thought that you guys might have some good ideas
 


I would suggest to never just ignore a code,

p0107 = map fault

That could cause your egr code, cause the pcm uses the map to check the egr,

If you have a GTP:
Find the vacuum hose you knocked off the map sensor and you should be good :)

If you have a GT:
Make sure he map is pluged in and clean
 
hey thanks for the help, but i fixed it, i used the good old GM tap test to force the problem and it turns out it was the maf sensor it nice having no codes and a smooth running car again, O and $120 out of my wallet:th_biggrin2:
