is there anyway to get rid of it. i have pulled the entire system out of them car, and blocked off at the intake mani and block. is there any kind of electronic compontent, like for the O2 sensor when you don't have a cat, that will solve the CEL to go away

What CEL are u getting? Use Search for the code number and there should be a solution there for you.

Did you take out the EGR solenoid? Supposedly, if you leave the solenoid hooked up to the wiring harnes then you won't get the CEL.

ok first the cel is the EGR insufficient flow, and i still got the CEL even with it hooked up.

Ok, well the reason I said supposedly is because I think it depends on what year you have. Can someone clear that one up? I haven't disabled mine, but I hear the 95s don't have this problem.

It sounds like you're failing the EGR monitor test.

yeah, im getting this and i have not modded my egr system at all. but i do have an hrc stage 2 and full custom pipes 2.5 no cat, but the o2 sensors are both on. I have a 98 eclipse.

my understanding is that with obdI cars, the ecu doesn't do a random egr flow test, but with obdII it does. (ie. the ecu opens up the valve randomly at startup and measures the response of the vehicle)

i am prety sure i am OBDI and i get the CEL.
i know why the CEL is on my question is, is there anyway besides puttin the EGR thing back on, to get rid of the CEL

I think that what this is leading to is, that if you hook up just the solenoid, it may get rid of the CEL. (beings that you are obdI)

no that won't happen, becasue first i had the solinod hooked up, but blocked off at the block and i still got the CEL thats when i decided to just rip everything off.

unplug the vacuum transducer and the EGR solenoid (not the valve) and wire in a 10 ohm 10 watt resistor. As far as the actual solenoid i wired in another 10 watt 10 ohm resistor with a 1/2 watt 2 ohm resistor, in series, and the codes went away. I have a 95 eclipse, and this worked for me, it may not work for you, but it cant hurt to try. If all else fails hit up Corbin, he can guide you through it.
