p0401 is your egr, reach behind the intake manifold just under the throttle body, you will find a vacuum line dangling, you need to plug it back to the egr.

p0136,p0141 are both for the rear o2 sensor, you must have an exhaust with is causing the car to throw the code.

none of these codes cause any problems, just inconvenient.

fix the vacuum line and clear the code (reset battery) and it shouldnt come back. as for the other ones, your better off just disabling them in the map since im sure you dont want to get rid of your exhaust, i can disable them if you cant find someone that knows how. lmk

EGR will probably cause idle quality issues and possibly cold engine driveability issues.

I see what diiiirk is saying about the exhaust, but if you don't have a full turboback, then you could have a bad stock catalytic converter.

yea your right, i didnt think of that. i was having a problem constantly popping vac lines off my egr. every now and then i would start to feel the car acting a little different, i would pop the hook and reach back there, sure enough it was off.
