P1744 -transmission intermittent/torque converter is a manufactures code;they have that problem,like the wipers coming on.
P0401-egr valve flow insufficient;replace or remove,spray B-12 on and around all openings;clean let dry new gasket.
SOURCE: 1999 mercury sable engine code
for p0401:
In fixing this code, it is quite common for people to just replace the EGR valve only to have the OBD code return. The EGR valve is not always the culprit.
Use a vacuum pump and pull the EGR valve open while monitoring engine RPM's & DPFE voltage. There should be a noticable difference in RPM's with the EGR open.
Clean out the EGR valve and/or tubing to remove deposits.
Check the voltage at the DPFE, compare to specified values (refer to a repair manual for your specific model).
Replace the DPFE sensor (with a good quality / OEM one).
Replace the EGR valve.
