EGR deleate September 02, 2008, 03:11:40 PM Me and a buddy were thinking bout taking to EGR vavle of our cars he has a 83 Mustang Gt but it doesn't have OBD1 if I do this will it throw a code if I do the EGR valve deleate I know on OBD2 it will but on OBD1 will it. Quote Selected

EGR deleate Reply #2 – September 02, 2008, 06:13:22 PM Not sure about a 2.3 ECU, but the product listed on the website below will work for EGR bypass on a 5.0 ECU. I would guess the electrical stuff can be used for the ECU.http://rjminjectiontech.com/?p=9 Quote Selected
EGR deleate Reply #3 – September 02, 2008, 06:37:11 PM The 2.3L cars always throw an "Insufficient EGR flow" code due to the restricter they put in the line during the recall. That's the only code you will get. Quote Selected
EGR deleate Reply #4 – September 02, 2008, 06:49:00 PM AFAIK if you remove the EGR it will throw a code but the EEC will compensate for that by removing the EGR function from it's calculations for fuel and spark resulting in no loss of drive-ability. It will throw a code but run fine. This is according to Joel5.0 on sbftech.com Quote Selected

EGR deleate Reply #7 – September 02, 2008, 08:03:32 PM So what's it hurting??? I may run a off road pipe, but the EGR still functions... Quote Selected
EGR deleate Reply #8 – September 02, 2008, 08:36:56 PM The EGR is the only emissions component left on my T-bird. It helps with part throttle fuel economy and doesn't hurt performance so I left it on. It's off at WOT so it's not hurting anything. Really I don't know why someone would want to disconect it....

EGR deleate Reply #9 – September 02, 2008, 09:15:45 PM Thanks guys. The mustang still has a code devise its the one before OBD what ever that is. Quote Selected

I never knew all the little issues with different companies until i read through all that. You recommend these products? Quote Selected

If I remember correctly, the total resistance for the sensor is 4.5K ohms...If all this is true, could just plug the vac to the sensor to test... I'm thinking it will set off the CEL, once engine is up to temp and cursing at speed... Quote Selected
