    Thank you, straight to the answer. Ive been dealing with the code popping up everytime after my egr delete. I wonder if you could place a jumper wire in the old egr plug and trick the ecu that it is there? Or would still sense it somewhere else?

    Quick question, First Wow think you for straight talk. Im in Canada and my truck is 2002 Esc EXT. question. If I do EGR delete on gas, do you think it;ll run ok? Like idle horse power? I just had a ordeal new plugs sensor's fuel pump coils. at the end of it the 19 year old EGR pipe broke, fn spent near 400 on new one but my mechanic forgot the darn gasket. ( can you believe its 4 days with for a gasket to arrive. I need to work so was wondering if my guy just fn blocked it how the truck would work. I know it will be in like Tuesday or Wednesday But I got work tonight ! lol just wondering was all.

    Remember to always register your vehicle in a state or region with no emissions testing. No smog checks here in Michigan, so that's good.

  • @zacharycanright3021
    @zacharycanright3021 6 років тому

    Good information. Thanks. I think I will put my EGR back in and resign myself to cleaning the carbon out of the intake every year or so.

  • @bobisthebuilder3982
    @bobisthebuilder3982 6 років тому +1

    I looked into the tuning and turning off the light. What you are doing is turning off that monitor. In New York State just like California the smog Inspection computer looks for the EGR and other monitors.
    If the inspection computer doesn’t find them or the data doesn’t meet the specs your car won’t pass and won’t be legal.

  • @notimeformorons5505
    @notimeformorons5505 5 років тому

    It depends on the car some do some don't. I have personally blanked around 20 cars and some are OK others need a small hole to allow a little gas to cerculate. You can not sit there and say YES blanking the egr puts on the eml conclusively because yours did.

    Sweet videos man. I've learned quite a bit. I just recently bought a 2010 Mazdaspeed3 in liquid silver with only 18k miles on it. Stock motor too, nothing done to it at all. Interior is in immaculate condition..even the plastics under the hood still have that new plastic glossy look to them. Still had the stock Dunlop tires when I got it too! Hopefully she lasts me a while. It's too pristine which makes me not even want to drive it hard lol. Gonna get a rear motor mount on it though, the stock one really does suck.

      No. You need an access port and a custom tune. Not to mention some tuners won't do it for you if they're very strict.

    @bobisthebuilder3982 6 років тому

    EGR delete is a waste of time and money. There is no performance gain whatsoever. EGR only takes place at idle and at steady cruising speed when the throttle plate is at or near totally closed.
    EGR does not take place during acceleration.

    • @UFloridaGator
      @UFloridaGator 6 років тому +7

      Right, no performance gain, but reduce carbon deposits in the intake valves significantly.

    • @JodBronson
      @JodBronson 6 років тому +5

    • @JodBronson
      @JodBronson 6 років тому

      NOTE: You can NOT do this on a Auto Fuel Injected Vehicle... You will have Starting issues... I just found that out the Hard Way :((((.... But if you have the normal Carburetor Type Car / Trucks, it will work. I think this is why so many People are arguing about Deleting / Not Deleting!

    • @bobisthebuilder3982
      @bobisthebuilder3982 6 років тому

      Tried it, ran it on the dyno no difference. Most everything is fuel injected and if you live in New York State you won’t pass a smog test.
      Keep in mind disabling or removing an emissions part is against federal law. I agree with reducing the carbon issue especially with the ecoboost and direct injection engines.

    • @JodBronson
      @JodBronson 6 років тому

      +Bob Is The Builder - I agree 100% it makes no difference on Gas Savings, long pick up running time, or gaining horse power, etc..., like some People stated here on UA-cam .... I was referring to " Fast Pick Up / Response " when you step on the pedal, for a few seconds you can feel it since it's better burn from my point of view..., but that is about it... Just a few seconds... ://///////. NOTE: It will be fun for some People though for a few seconds, LOL.
