My stabilitrak light comes on only if I drive 70mph or more. Can drive for weeks at a slower speed and it will not come on.

Put on a new egr valve as suggested by the dealer.

This is not really my expertise. But what I can tell you sounds like one or two chipsets may be playing up. Often hidden settings keyboard keys to manual buttons can sometimes be culprits mechanical intermit shorting assigned sets to the certain tasks is a possibility in electronics. Auto problem are best sourced that has seen you problem hundreds and thousand of times before.
A lot of trouble shooting web pages is often unhelpful because of automation. Search engines can only go by the tile and text in the pages found matching visitors key words not context. All we are doing is providing title and words found in text information. Sites can be too general to help narrow down specific faults and work rounds.
A helpful alternative are electronic service repair technicians and auto electricians who recognize straight away the problem your describing. They may have knowledge of hidden settings recognize the characteristic signature of your model of car or electronic device. It is usually those who have fixed electronics to cars hundreds and thousands of times before experienced enough at recognize your description and model they are familiar with.
In the case of electronics performance review reports on second hand goods, written by repair technicians passing on advice to seller and buying alike guides to various models to avoid, fixing problems ready for selling, and shearing discovered work rounds and offering helpful tips ideal for DIY repair advice. .

I keep getting a message service stabilitrak

StabiliTrak Indicator Light: If the warning light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If it stays on, or comes on when you are driving, there may be a problem with your StabiliTrak system and your vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on, the system is off and will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

This light will also flash when the StabiliTrak system is active. If the StabiliTrak system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.

The traction control part of StabiliTrak can be turned off by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak button if both systems (traction control and StabiliTrak) were previously on. To disable both traction control and StabiliTrak, press and hold the button for five seconds.

Traction control and StabiliTrak can be turned on by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak button if not automatically shut off for any other reason.

When the TCS or StabiliTrak system is turned off, the StabiliTrak light and the appropriate TCS off or StabiliTrak off message will be displayed on the DIC to warn the driver. Your vehicle will still have brake-traction control when traction control is off, but will not be able to use the engine speed management system.

If the StabiliTrak and/or Traction Control are not operating properly, I encourage you to take your vehicle in for inspection. A certified technician will be able to offer a more accurate diagnosis.

P0404 may be the valve sticking or not operating correctly. I hope you bought at least a AC DELCO valve, all others are not good enough. As for the car shaking @ 70 maybe they did not balance the tires good enough, have them drive it and recommend what to do, maybe you have a bad tire.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected 2002 Ford Crown Victoria LX The car works very good at 60 and I go 35 to city and then when we slow down to city speeds it will have little jerks and we...

P0401 - EGR Flow Insufficient Detected The EGR system is monitored during steady state driving conditions while the EGR is commanded on. The test fails when the signal from the DPF EGR sensor indicates that EGR flow is less than the desired minimum.
  • Vacuum supply
  • EGR valve stuck closed
  • EGR valve leaks vacuum
  • EGR flow path restricted
  • EGRVR circuit shorted to PWR
  • VREF open to D.P.F. EGR sensor
  • D.P.F. EGR sensor downstream hose off or plugged
  • EGRVR circuit open to PCM
  • VPWR open to EGRVR solenoid
  • D.P.F. EGR sensor hoses both off
  • D.P.F. EGR sensor hoses reversed
  • Damaged EGR orifice tube
  • Damaged EGRVR solenoid
  • Damaged PCM
Perform KOER self-test and look for DTC P1408 as an indication of a hard fault. If P1408 is not present, look for contamination, restrictions, leaks, and intermittents.
not likely the PCM, engine computer. they seldom go bad.
report back findings.
