Egr delete?

[n_bannerman]

What would I need to do to delete the egr and keep my 2.3 running right? I have had 2 go out on me in 2 years.

Ooo, that's usually a controversial question on auto forums. I was just checking how much one would cost in an auto parts store in Washington. If your truck is used as a "daily driver and occasional wheeling" vehicle, would it be easier to just change it out or try to find a way around an inspection?

It seems far more trouble to try an egr delete and keep it running well. But you'll get better responses I'm sure.

Leave it on there and fix it. It does a lot more than you think. There is probably another issue causing it to keep going out on ya.

Sounds good. Just tired of it getting blocked open. Never had an issue with it till a combo of running the tank dry and blowing a trimming belt.

I have a good link for a simulated circuit in place of the DPFE, but it's bookmarked on my home computer. I'll try to remember to add that link to this post. Here it is: http://www.hotrodhigh.ca/EGR.html

I go back and forth, whether I have my EGR functional or not. With the Scangage II hooked up, it's simple for me to reset the CEL. Mine can take up to a couple weeks to set the P0401 code with the valve disconnected for around town driving. Sometimes on a long trip, I'll hook it up for a couple of tanks until I get disgusted with the jerking / trailer-hitching at steady speeds.

an '86 won't have a code for it... no DPFE or EGR position sensor... When one of the ears on my EGR on my turbo engine broke off I just made a block off plate and sandwiched it between the intake and valve. I'm probably going to make it functional when I rebuild the engine though since I have another valve... just a super PITA to change with the engine in...

What did you use to make the block off plate? and how does it run with it blocked?

 

[scotts90ranger]

I just used a piece of steel strap (1/16" I think) with two holes in it... When I did the turbo swap I never had the EGR functioning as I didn't get the controller with the engine and didn't know how it was supposed to be hooked up, so it didn't change how it ran, I only put the plate in because the valve broke. Using how my engine ran as a reference isn't the best idea anyway because of how many things that weren't right on it, I'm trying to fix that now, hopefully get the engine pulled tonight.

Chit canned mine on d 87

used a lifter valley plug the opening runs cooler more power and more mpg.We don't have smog testing in Il.

Get a EGR gasket from a parts store and trace it on a piece of metal (anything flat without ridges, doubled up beer cans are a cheap way to go..lol) but be sure to NOT install it between your original gasket and the EGR valve since it will make your truck run better and get more MPG's and make your vehicle illegal since it produces more Oxides of Nitrogen or make the EPA mad at you.

I, being a Mo state inspector, would never know the block off was done, seeing as how the valve is still there. Here there are no emissions tests, just as long as all the components are there and intact. Basically, what I'm saying is I can't fail a hollowed converter, or a EGR with a plated gasket...

^^^ What he said..LOL

 

[n_bannerman]

well i finally made a plate to and picked up a new egr gasket. The truck no longer has that trailerjerk feel in the first 20 miles and i have noticed a little bit more power. now to find a used header and fix my exhoust system.

 

[logman7777]

YEAH BUDDY!

 

[logman7777]

Now you got to do the plug wire swap on the 2nd coil pack and a OEM intake mod and you should get some more go power
