I have a 1998 4X4 gmc 1500 half ton. It's a 5.7L V8, with 223,000km automatic tranny. My question is, I ran a diagnostics check with an ODBII code reader, and these are the codes that came up. 1404--EGR Valve closed pintle position, 430--Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (bank 2), 405--Exhaust gas recirculation sensor A circuit low. I need to know what the codes are, what the EGR Valve is and looks like, and anything else u can tell me about all the codes.

I ALSO HAVE A 98 GMC & HAVE REPLACED THE EGR
& CATS THE EGR IS ON THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE
BLOCK JUST IN FRONT OF THERMOSTAT HOUSING
IT IS ELECTRONIC ON THIS MODEL AND WILL RUN
ABOUT $139 IT IS A SIMPLE TO BOLT INSTALLATION, YOU WILL NEED TO GET AS MUCH CARBON BUILD UP AS POSSIBLE OUT OF THE MOUNTING POINT. THE CAT BELOW THRESHHOLD
IS ALSO TYPICAL FOR THE MILES THEY WILL RUN
ABOUT $120 A PIECE THIS MODEL HAS 2. HOPE THIS HELPS
