yes, it will unless you have a tuner turn it off through a chip.

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.

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.
It's Gumby's fault.

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

So what's it hurting??? I may run a off road pipe, but the EGR still functions...

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....

Is that site the top dog of wiring harnesses ?  I never knew all the little issues with different companies until i read through all that.  You recommend these products?

yeah, thats what i was thinking,, they are calling out .5vdc,,, so whatever the EVP reads in its rest position would be the resistor size.

Would be easy enough to measure... 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...
