THAT IS THE CODE THAT MEANS YOUR HOSE POPPED OFF THE NIPPLE...READ WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TYPING TO SEE IF YOUR HOSE SLIPPED OFF THE NIPPLE...

the dealer said the hose and the solenoid are both trashed.. probobly from the accident or the clutch installation, so its all covered under warranty

I drove around for months with my CEL on because I gave up on figuring out what the problem was. Then I did a search on here and found out what the problem was....and lo and behold the vacuum line kept popping off the EGR valve nipple.

Dude props for handling those childish/brainless comments in a mature manner!
