I got error code - P048 (Current) - Exhaust Gas Recirculation system Problem. It doesn't happen often, 1 or 2 times a month. What it may cause this?

Clean your EGR valve and the tubes that look back up at you when you look into the throttle body. use a hanger to 'rod out' those two tubes as deep as you can go. I used carb cleaner and compressed air to clean them. Use a new EGR valve gasket.

That is undoubtedly your problem.. Open up a HANGER, and stick the curly end into those tubes to 'rod them out', they end up at the EGR if I recall. Mine never looked that bad

If E048 is shows again, will have to buy a new EGR valve, right?
