I have a 2003 rodeo with the v-6 also. Yesterday after a short drive in the heat I tried to start it and would not crank, then started with very rough idle and died. The reduced power light and the CEL came on, Pulled code and 0401 and 1290 were there. I deceided to clean the throttle tube . When I took off the throttle body it appeared as though there is some sort of screen over the end of the tube? I have not seen any mention of this screen on other post. I proceeded to take the EGR off and clean with carb spray and blow through with air. Still seemed to have screen on end of tube. Reassembled and started with high idle at first and then after driving appears to run fine. Reduced power light went off and I cleared codes. Have driven about 20 miles and runs fine so far.
Is the 1290 code associated with this also or is it something else?
Thanks
