Hello everyone
Has anyone ever had the P401 EGR recirculate insufficient flow code come up?
I have a 13/14. the light has never came on and I have 15k miles on the car. I put an O/R X pipe on over the winter and the light stayed off along with the O2 sensors went ready. One weekend i decided to run 5 gallons of C16 leaded fuel in with about 5 gallons of 93 for a dyno day. After that day the P401 code keeps coming up. I put the stock H pipe with cats back on and went back to 93 octane but the light keeps coming on. Any help would be great.

Leaded fuel burns slower from what I've read, may be why the EGR is sensing insufficient flow? I've also read the o2 sensors don't like leaded fuel

yeah the O2 sensors didn't have any problem with it. They even went ready when it comes to emissions here in NH. I guess im trying to find out if any has ever had one of these go bad. From what ive heard they very rarely do
