Please help!

I have a 99 GTP. And it needs to be cranked several times before starting. I've taken it to a mechanic and it was pulling the P0401(EGR insufficient flow), P0405(EGR sensor A short), and P0650(malfunction indicator lamp) codes. I was told I need to replace the EGR (replaced this twice thinking the first one must have been faulty), Mass air flow sensor, and my PCM. All have been replaced and it's still pulling the same codes. Any ideas why it would pull all 3 of these codes?

Did you check to see if your egr tubes are clear and not clogged up?

Um just outta curiosity but did u have the codes CLEARED after u fixed the problem? Some codes need to be cleared by a scanner.

Ok, so it's pulling the codes. But is it still a pain to crank?

[Steel Armadillo]

And also, is it slower than it should be?

pull the vac line off the FPR, does fuel come out and or is it wet?

If so, thats your hard start problem.

Ok, so yes it's still hard to start and when I bought the EGR valve it said disconnect the battery for 30 mins to clear the codes, which I did.

On the FPR, should fuel come out or should it be wet? And if that's my problem, what does that mean? How do I fix it?

You dont want fuel to come out or for it to be wet.

The regulator holds the pressure, with low pressure the car doesnt want to start with no fuel there.

SO if its bad, replace it.

It's less that 50 bucks if I remember correctly.

not to sure but just thinking if you had your PCM replaced and it was from another year car could it be throwing codes? i dont know im kinda curious myself about if it would to.
