i was thinking about blocking my egr valve. i heard it might throw a EGR flow code . true or not true. can I block it off with out any worries?

^ KMS sells them. Most people make theirs out of aluminum. Up to you. As far as a CEL, some people get one and some dont. You can always reset the CEL.

 

thanks for the info on the plate. just need to know about this code.

 

I've done it on 5th gen and 4th gen lude, as long as you don't touch the vacuum or the wires the light stays off.

 

hummm..I C.i guess i could try

 

let us know how it goes if you do try the blockoff plate.

 

will do for sure

 

I want to remove all the EGR Components. Plug the I/M vacuum port, and install an EGR plate. This will leave two EGR plugs unplugged. Is there any way to remove the CEL code? Chip? Resister?

 

I don't know about resistors, but reprogrammable ECU's like Hondata or AEM will do it.

 

Im not a huge fan of running ecu in limp mode. If you really want to start disabling sensors you need to convert to obd1

 

egr cel wont run in limp mode, i have block off on my 4th gen, i get a cel every now and then, usually between 35-60mph at a consistant cruise. i just pop start it and it goes away. im lookin for a way to get rid of the CEL. and have been unseccesful

 

CEL is a poor result. For example you can drive with an o2 code but the ecu goes into safety mode and your killin power and just overall driveability

 

it doesnt go into safe mode. There are only a couple CEL's that will actually put the car in limp mode.

umm aren't your obd1 get a p72 or p28 don't have the egr function and chip it or hondata

This is why disabaling the EGR is stupid as it only injects exhaust gases under the conditions described above. Not at WOT. It's only worth doing if you are going to epoxy fill the holes in the manifold and report the runners. and the only point of doing that is to get maximum performance out of the engine and help to not disrupt the airflow.
