Yes, 302. Just looking for info on likely cause, or things to test.

I know knight71 replaced the EGRC solenoid and that fixed his problem. I had the code not too long ago and I ended up pulling the plenum and cleaning out the EGR guide tube and EGR port on the plenum (they were both very clogged with carbon deposits). The code hasn't reappeared for me yet (it has been 2 weeks).

A lot of different components can actually post that code, including the EGRC solenoid, the EGR temp sensor (which actually detects the flow as well), the EGR valve, blocked passages. Cleaning out the port and tube is "free" - just time consuming.
