Thanks to SilverNT for the extra pair of (bitch) hands. FInally tore into the RS.

Redid timing, indexed the cam gears to compensate ofr the mill. After about a half a tooth adjustment. starting the car and running her a few times, no CEL's. So I'll re-register her and see if anything pops up.

I suppose in a way it's a she lives post.

DSM= The frustration of fixing

If there's no CEL, your car is either slow or something's horribly wrong.

the funny thing about all of this, when we saw there were no CEL's, both of us just started cracking up laughing. Glad we actually accomplished this mike, as said before, it was about damn time! Glad i was a part of this great occasion.

Did you hook back up your EGR or what?

That CEL is impossible to avoid! :-P

I know he was attempting to implement a resistor trick.

Has it worked?

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

I didnt have a CEL for the LONGEST time, then as Im pulling into the inspection station.. BAM! CEL pops up, in my quick thinkin I popped off the chromed cluster bezel, slipped a piece of electrical tape over the light and put the bezel back on.

Guy didnt know it was an ODBII car and didnt test it that way.

CEL was "thermostat temp output high" or something lame like that.

Id like to hera aboyut this EGR thingie, I still have mine hooked up cause I fear the CEL, but would like to remove it now that Im a texan

I'll hunt down what resistor I used and worked for me and post that up.

Like I said, this EGR mod we're testing here is bolt on. No cutting, hacking, soldering and you can convert it back to stock in 15 minutes if you *wanted* to.

I would let the details go, but everyone here knows what happened last time I had an idea and gave details in advance...

I can bet I know exactly what you did... I have had a plan for a while now that would block the EGR without throwing a CEL... It's pretty simple really... you just have to know WHY the ECU throws a CEL for "Insufficient EGR Flow" Because that's the one that a resistor won't fix... Think about it... if you know what causes that CEL... then you know how to fool it...
