2005 E320 P0400 Code

Hi, looking for help please, Car will not start, was running excellent, parked it, when I got back in it will not turn over to start, acts as if trying to but don’t, I put the Foxwell scanner on it and it gave the code P0400, anyone knows what’s wrong with it, Also Just had the SBC done with a new ECU put in about 2 mos ago, about 200k miles on it.

Google says that that is an EGR flow code, shouldn't cause starting issues.

How is your battery, battery cable connections, ground strap to the engine?

"NO-CRANK"...

How about ESL ?
Read the "drive authorization" from EIS Module.
(not a battery issue here)

P0400..The dreaded EGR Vavle: The vavle is more than likely clogged with exhuast ****. I highly recommend replacing, and that would clear up the problem..Ask me? Answer It happend to me. Purchased new part on fleabay for about $60.00, and watched a vide on youtube. Process takes about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs.. hardest part is getting ARG line back into intake manifold, but once in your done. Also recommend getting all new breather hoses. Get OEM hoses from dealership. Good luck, a bit of sweat equity and a cold drink afterwards is your reward!! You got this.
