It will be driveable. Cel will be on that's it.

 

Ok, just making sure it wasn't going to put my truck in a limp mode or anything. So it won't hurt anything then..? Until I get a tuner to turn it of..?

 

Yes sir you should be fine. Mine still has codes but my sct turns light off. I've got full delete on mine. I drove it a week before my sct came in mail.

 

Right on. Thanks boss

 

I agree I am still driving with out a tunner. Im not happy about it but I just dont have the money for a tunner right now, but that being said my truck runs fine. I left the valve plugged in though. because I was told by some guys on here that if I unplugged it it messing with the fan some how.

 

I've never heard of that, all a tuner does is remove cel. Because a lot of custom tunes leave on the egr and some even turn it off. But either way is fine I would assume.

 

So you just left the electrical plug in..? Did you trip the CEL?

 

It will trip a cel either way.

 

I would leave it plugged in either way until you decide to get a tuner

 

If you do a search you will find a ton of info about the effect of an unplugged EGR valve on the PCM control of the fan clutch.

 

So your saying when running custom tunes by eric even when he leaves egr on for better fuel mileage its bad for everyone who has egr delete aka everyone?

 

Only if it's not plugged in. I don't have my EGR valve installed but it's still electrically hooked up. I wish I could just toss it in the garbage along with the throttle body but a lot more guys that know what they are talking about say it needs to stay connected. A few say it doesn't matter but I'd rather make sure and leave it hooked up. You would think by now some programer guy could say either way by now.

 

Mine is on my workbench in the garage. So you just leave it laying there on manifold?

 

No, if you remove the right rear bolt on the intake elbow there is just enough wire going to the EGR valve to let you use one of the tabs to bolt it down.

 

I just have it thrown up there. on the manifold.

 

Mine is an 05 but I did delete the EGR but left it plugged in and have never thrown a CEL. I have the block off plates but never got around to putting them on. I also have an SCT but havent needed to use it. Stock studs! YET!

 

Do you have a MAF sensor? If you don't get a CEL, I'm betting you don't. Or you have a 49 state PCM calibration.

 

Yah some guys are lucky that way with the CEL, I think it may have something to do with what flash version you have. For me my '05 Ex does not have the same engine ('04) as the pickups so the tuner I use to get rid of the CEL does not deal with the throttle body position code because it does not know that there are two very different motors for that year. Your lucky with studs too, I know one guy that put only a 50 HP tune on his truck and had his head gaskets fail soon after and then another guy I know has some kind of extreme race tune with OEM head bolts and he has never had any problems.

 

so, on my '06 i am currently having an egr delete installed. you guys are saying that even if i leave the egr valve in place, and plugged in, it will have a cel?

 

More than likely, yes it will unless you have a tuner, it will probably throw the insufficient egr flow code, can't remember the number.

 

finally fired it up today! no code yet!

 

so if I did this egr delete will I be able to correct it with my edge?

 

PHP can write custom tunes for your Edge that will correct it, that is what I had done for my 04.

 

so they can overwrite the generic tunes for a full custom one? or just little things like egr delete?

 

My truck (05) stock tuning with Egr delete no cel light tune it with sct from quick tricks and cel comes.on

 

Depends on what edge you have

 

Full custom tunes on my cts evolution.

 

oh I have the attitude juice with platinum

 

Oh. well thats no good
