I went to Autozone and they gave me this code

P1410
Valve possition sensor circuit malfunction

probable cause-
BB1 Open or short circuit condition
BB2 poor electrical connection.

.Where should I start looking. I cleaned the throttle body white smoke covered the neighborhood and all that. Engine light is still on. I attached the picture of one of the sensors.Should I start replacing sensors? Light is on and off. usually it comes back on in the morning when I start the car. Thanks a guys.

This sensor is on top of the throttle body/egr area...i bought mine at autozone for $31...the dealer wanted $65 for it

Installed new sensor but light showed up anyway. Is there different sensor as well?

Sorry for the late response but after you installed it did you reset the computer? basically remove the negative terminal of the battery then reconnect it like 10 secs later....

i had to do this...but if its still not the problem i suggest you get a haynes manual those things are life savers

Or pull the EFI (5A) fuse for a minute. It saves your clock and radio stations.

I reset the computer but light comes back on , not right away but after a day or two. Do you think that other sensors could give the same code??

You might want to pull the EGR and clean it...if not, then yer looking at replacing it.

I took a look at EGR valve today, other that simple 3 bolts on the front it has two bolts on the back that connect to the pipe. How the hell do I get access to those?? Is it better to disconnect the pipe on the bottom and pull everything up??
