Enable/Disable DTC's on DSMLink

[Mistaspakles]

Which DTC's should I enable and which should I disable on my DSMLink out of these:

Evap/EGR/MDP

Cat Efficiency/O2 (I disabled this since I don't have a cat)

Cylinder misfire

Fuel Trim

A/T Transmission (I've got a 5spd, so do I disable this?)

Closed Loop

Idle Control

Thanks in advance for any response!

If you have an EGR blockoff that is triggering a CE light, then you should disable that one.

If you have a 1gina2g swap that is triggering a random misfire CEL, or you have a lightweight flywheel that is triggering this CEL, disable it.

The rest of them, you probably can leave alone.

The basic thing is, if you have a check engine light that you are SURE is not because something is broken, then you can probably disable it.

What about the DTC for the A/T Transmission? I assume A/T means automatic? What is this for? I've got a 5spd.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Just curious, if you have a question about your cars CD player, would you go to a user group for your microwave oven, and ask there? Or would you ask about the CD player in the appropriate owners group?

Really is that what I mean? Maybe I meant a question about DSMLinks DTC Enable/disable would best be answered on the DSMLink bulletin board, and not some other forum on here?

I disable them all except for fuel trim and idle control. If there is something wrong with one of those two systems I wouldnt mind a CEL letting me know.
