I bought this car and the check engine light came on they ran it and it was a p0401 code fixed it and 3 days later it came on again now it pulls to one side, when I put my foot on the gas it makes a low sound like a motercycle, and in reverse it it jerks you ywice but not hard. I dont know what could be the problem.

Yep! Pull the egr off, clean the port under it all the way to the throttle plate, I use a length of steel coathanger. Put it all back together, reset the codes, if light comes on again, replace the EGR position sensor, thats the one the two small hoses from the exhaust plug into! On LS you need to remove the throttle body to get at the passages, clean with an old speedo cable attached to a drill.
