P0401 code

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! A P0401 code on your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara is like your EGR system waving the white flag, saying, "Hey, I'm not flowing enough!" Since you've cleared the carbon build-up, the next suspects are the EGR valve itself or the EGR solenoid. That misfire at idle but not under load suggests the valve might be sticking open slightly, or there's a vacuum leak somewhere, allowing unmetered air into the mix. It’s like trying to play your favorite song with a missing note—things just sound off. If you need any further advice or want help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554!
