111376, Getting rid of the EGR CEL code - tried it and works! Posted by Kiku, Jan-20-03 08:43 AM Dont know who has tried this before but i've always heard that just hooking up the solenoid up to the ecu harness even though you have the EGR blockoff kit gets rid of the CEL code. | |

111377, RE: Getting rid of the EGR CEL code - tried it and works! Posted by juggalo, Jan-20-03 09:13 AM yup i have posted about that before. you just have to remove one hose and put some vacuum caps on. | |

You will get it when the ECU performs the IAC test. The ecu will close off the IAC and try and open up the EGR valve to compensate and pull in the needed air. The motor will stumble a bit when its not getting that air(since its blocked off), and trips the CEL. If I erase my codes, that particular code will come back at least once a week, up to once every 2 weeks i have noticed. Its also has come on within several days, but its usually longer. As far as i know, all of our ECU's will do this, although i have heard differenly on the 95's. I wish there was a way around this, but so far no luck.. | |
