![]() I got rid of all my EGR crap. Has anybody ripped out all of those crappy sensors behind the passenger strut tower?

![]() Yes, I removed them...
Emission related stuff that you don't need if you disconnected your EGR system/smog pump, etc. The only thing I found that couldn't be disconnected without triggering the check engine light was the EGR valve/spacer wiring harness, no vacuum line running to mine. Its basically used as a spacer and that's it... |

Are you saying you still have the EGR mounted, just not functioning because of no vacuum line? Or did you make a spacer, and do ??? with the wiring? ![]()

![]() I run an Accufab 75mm T.B. and EGR spacer. My EGR valve that bolts to the backside of the spacer is the only thing left on my car that is emission related...
I stated that I left that on because unplugging/removing the wire harness from the EGR valve resulted in the check engine light coming on. Do I make any sense this time? I apologize for being confusing... I have removed every other P.O.S. related to the emission system without triggering the check engine light until I got to the EGR valve. Why have a vacuum line going to it if the intake and heads have no EGR passages? I just keep the wire harness plugged into the EGR valve so I don't have to look at the check engine light... Other than that, I have no real functioning emissions. When at WOT past 4k the PMS goes into stand alone mode so whats to worry about other than part throttle street driving which I did from time to time last year with no real problems. I just kept an eye on everything and paid close attention to what my EGT gauge was reading... |

![]() Thanks man,
I just hate the way the bay looks with all that useless EGR crap.
