I have these codes currently, I just want to make sure I'm changing the right parts.

P0174-System Too Lean (Bank 2)=upstream front of car?
P0171-System Too Lean (Bank 1)=upstream towards firewall?
P0401-EGR Insufficient flow detected=what part to get?
P0401-EGR Excessive flow detected=what part to get?

Anyone that can provide what part to get for the EGR codes would be most helpful,
Thanks
Eric

You're correct on the cylinder banks for the O2 sensors. For the EGR, I would try cleaning the passages and making sure the hoses & connections to the EGR and the DPFE sensor are good.

I had the 401 and 402 codes, you can check out my results here:

To make a long story short, i replaced just about every part in my EGR system (3 total) and they finall went away. I'm pretty sure the EGR valve or DPFE swap where the ones that fixed it.

Where is the DPFE located? The picture in the Haynes manual is not clear (at least to a novice like me). Can anyone describe the part and location, please?

Anyone care to supply part #'s for the EGR valve and DPFE? What does the DPFE stand for? Any help would be most appreciated thanks..
