So does the car stall when coming to a stop?That code is caused most likely by a sticking egr valve.

Timhoelzel says>i have a 1996 saturn sc1 sohc. Runs good at idle but bogs on acceleration, lacks power, sluggish.P1406 code. How do I fix it?I swapped the egr solenoid/valve with a used one off a manual shift & mines an automatic. Would that cause 1406 code. Shop diagnosis said p0172, p0300, p0327, p1620, p0708 codes so I changed all sensors pertaining to those and now the only code that comes up is 1406. Really frustrated, have tried everything to fix it and still same thing. Car burns oil, has 202,000 miles. But I had top ed rebuilt and new cat 10 months ago.
Saturntech9 says>Please post your replies on this posted question starting a new question to post your answer just confuses everyone including the one trying to help you. So what year model etc did the used egr valve come off of?
