What is a code po404?
What the P0404 code means. P0404 is an OBD-II generic code that the engine control module (ECM) detected the engine exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve or sensor is out of specification range or its performance has gone out of specification parameters.
How much does it cost to diagnose p0404 Pontiac engine code?
The cost of diagnosing the P0404 PONTIAC code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary widely across the country, and even within the same city. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour. When is the P0404 PONTIAC code detected?
Is there a service bulletin for the p1404 Pontiac?
On some models, there is a service bulletin for the P1404 code that suggests reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to repair the problem. The cost to diagnose the P1404 PONTIAC code is 1.0 hour of labor.
Can a p0404 engine have too much EGR?
(Too much EGR and the engine won’t idle). If you have a P0404, then the EGR valve is likely an electrically controlled EGR valve instead of a vacuum controlled EGR valve.
Is the p0404 valve on my Malibu gone?
I have a 2002 Chevy Malibu LS with the 3.1L V6 engine. I had a p0404 code and when I did my tune-up recently, I went ahead and replaced the EGR valve. However, after two days of normal driving (approx. 70mi each day), the code has not gone away.

Why is my p0404 exhaust gas recirculation not working?
The actual EGR position should be very close to the “desired” EGR position. If it is, then the problem is likely intermittent. It may have been a lodged piece of carbon that has since dislodged, or it could be a bad EGR valve winding that intermittently opens or shorts as the valve temperature changes.

What kind of EGR valve does a p0404 have?
If you have a P0404, then the EGR valve is likely an electrically controlled EGR valve instead of a vacuum controlled EGR valve. Also, the valve will usually have a feedback system built into it that informs the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) what position the valve is in; open, closed, or somewhere in between.
