    Use the search button!!!! You need to be looking for a bad cat conv., exhaust leak, maybe a bad rear O2 sensor. Many possibilities.

    "P0402 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Excessive Flow Detected"

    Are you sure it isn't the P0420? That is a more common error code, relating the the CAT.

    Check the hose that plugs in to a vacuum valve on the right side and crosses over(attaches to radiator) and ends up plugging into the intake housing(airfilter)
