Autonomous EGR removal!
Autonomous EGR removal!
Is there a way to cross wire anything to keep the ecm from going crazy? maybe splice two wires together? there is a 4 wire connector going into am electrical thing next to the solenoid......

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
No there isn't.
I don't know why people want to remove the EGR, it's doing nothing but helping your engine run well, and a long life. It's definitely not in any way, shape or form reducing overall power.

Six shooter is right and knows his stuff. You can block it off and then max out the value that it is supposed to operate at in the prom.

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
Yes, I read your post, then I answered the question at hand, which was asking if there was some way to trick the ECM by twisting a couple wires together, to which that answer is a simple no. I then added more information and an observation at the end.
Jakemussman is eluding to the only way to truly remove the EGR.
Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
you didnt answer anything. and if i get banned i will just go to a new board. i grew up with real enthusiasts, not people like you. you voiced an opinion. i never asked for opinions.

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!

I did answer your question, since you don't see the answer, I will point it out for you...
You posted:
Just because you don't like the answer, doesn't mean it wasn't answered.

To sum it up, you asked if there was a way to disable the EGR, by crossing a couple wires, so that the ECM doesn't throw a code, and there isn't, which is what I replied with.
The rest of my reply is not opinion, it is fact. An EGR will help an engine live a longer life, run cleaner and smoother, also cooler.

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
hahaha sometimes i find it funny when someone asks "did you actually read my post" when they themselves didnt read the post with the answer in it.
maybe this will help
NO THERE IS NO WAY TO TWIST A WIRE TOGETHER ON THE EGR TO SOLVE THE LIGHT COMING ON PROBLEM.

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
I HAD to block off the EGR in my 95 V-6 blazer....little chunks of carbon kept blocking it in the open position- then it would quit in traffic..... I used a piece of sheet metal cut to the gasket size....then it threw codes..........then i poked tiny holes in it so it could breath alittle but not enought to let the chunks through....problem solved...
Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
Ha pilsbury is obviously part of the widespread problem this website has. no other forum has you **** like people in it. real hot rodders are helpful. you guys are just arrogant. Hotrodin has a very helpful post as opposed to a regimented brain dead post. If I have to do it the "normal" way i have obviously asked the wrong group of people.

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
EGR delete is widely controversial, people tend to be fairly evenly divided on whether or not it hurts or improves performance, personally, since its not open at WOT, I don't see it helping me go faster by adding weight and throwing soot at my intake, on the other hand, when you are just driving around town or to school or work, it would be better to have it on, since it will improve mileage by giving you a more thorough burn. That's my opinion of it, but again, its pretty divided, and they did answer your question. If you block it off you have to disable it in the ECU or it will throw a code. And yes, they threw in their advice/opinions as well, but they still answered your question, so I don't see why you are getting all pumped up over nothing, if anything they are trying to help you, but then you spazz out on them, looking through these posts, you threw the first unfriendly words when they answered you, and it wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, wasn't till after you said some less than pleasant things that they said anything less than friendly or helpful.

Just because you don't like the answer, that doesn't make it wrong. I've found people here to be friendly and helpful. There's an "old" internet saying, "Forums are a mirror." Like any other social experience, you get what you put in.
Now, to be a jerk; that's an improper use of "autonomous."

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
Six shooter gives a succinct, 3 word answer to a question, followed by a personal observation that might prove helpful and 'crazybird'(now that looks like an accurate monicker if ever I saw one!) pops off like some ******-wearing, steroid-popping neanderthal. You brought the incivility and rudeness to this thread, son. This website has been nothing but helpful to those of us who have been here for any length of time. I suggest you read the first answer AGAIN, digest the information and use it as you see fit. Or wander off to 'a new board'... the rest of us would probably prefer that, actually.

This is the best forum that can be found for thirdgen V6's period! And the members here have helped me learn and understand the workings of our 6/60's.

Removing the hardware is only half the answer. You need to disable the EGR in the ECU. This is done by setting the temp it turns on at to the max value (which is something like 280* IIRC) which is a temp your engine will never reach unless its melting down like Chernobyl. You can't hot wire the harness to make the ECU think the that the EGR is disabled. You have to reprogram the EGR parameters in order for the EGR to be turned off for good.

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
There is a reason that Thirdgen.org is the one of the first, if not the first responses listed when you Google anything Thirdgen. It is by far the best, so much so that I, personally, have been spoiled. If you look at other forums I doubt you will find one single site as helpful as TGO. I'm a member of a Ford truck forum site that has individual forums per generation, as in all the engine, transmission, interior, electrical, etc. are grouped in the way that the transmission specific stuff is grouped here. It's a jumbled mess, and that site's search function makes this one look like it can read your mind. You've found the best, now all you have to do is realize it.

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
pound for pound there has much more ignorant responses to my honest request for an opinion free answer. each of you chose to force your 2 cents in. i asked for an autonomous answer. when i point out your pompousness you refer to me as having and attitude and say i should be banned. no one asked you to respond. lets move past this.

Re: Autonomous EGR removal!
You're obviously thinking of a different word that "autonomous," since in reality according to the definition, you got exactly that.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/autonomous
There is no way to remove the EGR without the CEL light coming on, without re-programming the ECM to eliminate that code, and function of the EGR valve.
Yes, you have the bad attitude, because your question was answered with a straight to the point answer, at which time, you decided to go off on a tangent, because you didn't like the answer. Now you can either go along with the status quo here, or you will end up being banned for the combative behavior you're showing. FWIW, I'm not the only mod that has noticed that you do not like to get along with people and generally try to either be-little people or make slurs towards them. Take this as a friendly warning.
End of story.
