remove the EGR valve and see if the hole in the intake is all carboned up. if it is, clean it out with a little wire brush/ pipe cleaner and some air intake cleaner, P0401 usually is insufficient flow. Thats the first place I would start. While you have the EGR out, see if it holds vaccum.

no i wasnt saying you dont have to fix it. Because if it came on obviously you do have something wrong. But i was just saying its normal for these codes to go on and off when you get the code. But you should still try and clean out the egr port on the intake manifold. Im not sure where its located on the 420a though

Here is a pic from vfaq it is for a egr blockoff plate but it showed the location.
