EGR unplug
When I read "unplug the EGR", are we talking about unplugging the wire connector only, or do you have to do a full delete. I am going to need my full emissions equipment for infrequent scheduled inspections.:booo: Also I read that disconnecting the wire throws the computer off and it runs a second program which may be damaging in the long run. What about unplugging and terminating a resistor which shows 0% valve position. If this doesn't fail the logic it could keep the computer on program A and allow for the proper fuel / air mix. Any thoughts?

I am wondering about the long term effects also. The MPG gain is AWESOME!! Will this cause any damages?
|
gut the DPF, get the DPF electronics (now code free :) ) and install plates between the EGR valve and your intake horn. still pass inspections and not have to worry bout the garbage that is hindering power and mileage :U:
|
I killed my egr a few weeks ago and installed the plates. I wasn't quite sure about the butterfly valve...leave open or closed. I pulled it out altogether so it's wide open. Is this correct?
|
^^^^^^^ Yes. even just removing the EGR valve, the butterfly stays open. It only closes during regen to help create heat by allowing more EGR gasses to go into the intake.
|
where exactly is the EGR valve located at :humm:
|
My EGR has been unplugged for more than 20,000 kms. Because of the open circuit, the engine light is on and the dinger goes off at start up. I don't even notice it now. I saw a 1 to 2 MPG increase and an increase in throttle response. You can plug it in at any time and after 4 start cycles the engine light will go out.
|
It is in the elbow going into the motor, it closes and then exhaust gas comes from the exhaust manifold through a tube on the front of the motor and goes into the top of the intake elbow. You are reburning the dirty exhaust so it takes the place of clean air.:booo:
|
but if you unplug the egr without deleting the gutting the dpf wont it make the dpf clog up more often.:humm:
