Default Need help diagnosing a problem

A friend pulled up this fault code on my car, after my CEL light came on 2 weeks ago when I changed out my spark plugs. Please tell me it will not be expensive to repair. My car is a 1996 2.8 12v. I used Bosch Platinum with the 2-prong (can't remember the exact name or part numner) if that helps:

VAG-COM Version: Release 404.0-US
Control Module Part Number: 8D0 906 266 B
Component and/or Version: 2,8l V6/2V MPI OBD2 D01
Software Coding: 01201
Work Shop Code: WSC 06335
1 Fault Found:
16785 - EGR System: Insufficient Flow
P0401 - 92-00 - Unknown Error Elaboration

TIA!!!

Default Get the bentley manual and do the diagnostic yourself...

... or take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

I'm willing to bet that the EGR problem has nothing to do with your sparkplug choice.

Default check to see if the EGR valve holds vacuum first...

if so, start the car, apply vacuum to it and see if it tries to die out. If it doesn't hold vacuum, replace the valve. If it doesn't try to die while running with vac applied, pull the valve and check for obstructions.

Or...take it to a shop
