2g OBD II ECU EGR Blockoff Plate

[pimpngear]

Ok.....first things first. I used the search in several fields and still don't have a good enough answer. I want to(and will) make my own Egr blockoff plate for my 2g Talon. I know, since all '94 and up cars are California Emissions cars, It will give me a C.E.L. By going over both the 1g and the 2g manuals' I think the Light will be in respect to a code 43 <EGR> and mayby enen a code 11 <O2 sensor> and a code 12 <V.A.F. sensor>. I know I will get the 43, but I think the 11 and the 12 are a reach. My question is.....How will the ECU react to the new found errors. If I had to take a wild guess, I think the ecu would assume a faulty Egr and lean out the mix a little. Is this even remotly correct? If this is the only probel, a simpl AFC or a Translator will more than make up for the loss. if all that is too unaffordable, i guess you can just adjust the mas sensor and bring the mix back up.

I actually am gonna remove all the emission components except the charcole canister. I want to try to clean up the engine bay alot, and I want the cleaner air in my intake, not to mention eliminateing more vacume leaks. The whole process should take only 1 hr to remove evrythinh and tune it back up. Once i am finished I will put up the whole process form the making of the plate to the Tuning in a pdf format.

If this is a dumb ass noob idea, let me know before i break something else. Thanks in advance, and sorry for going on to long.

Ok....so the truth must be that I am a complete fool and I obviously cant tell the difference between an OBD I code list and that of an OBD II. So the list of possiable codes is now too great too list, but still my question stills stands. What are the long term effects and is this damaging???

just take all that shit out and live with the CEL. i actually get nervous if my cel goes iff

Get a pocketlogger or dsmlink and turn off your check engine light, if you even get one.

Well, I guess i wasn't spacific enough on my question. I am well awar of the fact that i will have a C.E.L., witch I am willing to live with. As a matter of fact, my C.E.L. is allready on all the time due to the test pipe I am running. What I am asking is if there is any long term effects that may damage the ECU? Will all the codes effect any other systems outside of the emmisions? Do I actually need to wait untill I got control of my Fuel system befor I do this? Keep the ideas coming, please.

don't know much about the egr unfortunately...

It says, just leave the solenoids plugged in (electrically) and you wont get a CEL.

Wrong.

On the California cars, there is a sensor within the EGR that checks to make sure it is functioning correctly. Actually, on the 2g's I think this is (also?) done by the MAP sensor in the intake manifold. It checks for a certain pressure change to confirm that the EGR is working.

I don't *think* that a CEL for the EGR does anything to the ECU's opertaion, except for keep you from passing emissions. Since the EGR has nothing to do with the actual operation of the motor, it's not likely that the ECU will make a change to any of its functions.
