EGR? You mean it's literally a tube going from the intake pipe to the exhaust pipe? Or intake manifold to exhaust manifold? Be more specific.

That is the pulsed secondary air injection system, it was only on 95s NTs. There was a recall and if you take it to a dealer they are supposed to remove the parts associated with that system and reflash or replace the ecu so it dose not throw a CEL.


SUBJECT:
ASPIRATOR SYSTEM REMOVAL AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR INSPECTION OR REPLACEMENT - EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN

PURPOSE
Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc. (MMSA) is recalling all 1995 Eclipse vehicles equipped with the 2.0L non-turbo (420A) engine and manual transmission for an emissions related condition.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Description of Condition
The NOx emission level on these vehicles may not comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission regulations. Additionally, the fuel pressure regulator on some of these vehicles may fail.

Remedy
This Emissions Recall Campaign includes the following procedures:

^ Inspection, and replacement of the fuel pressure regulator if required.
^ Removal of the exhaust aspirator system (secondary air injection system)
^ Reprogramming (or replacement, if necessary) of the powertrain control module (PCM)*
NOTE :A PCM reprogramming cartridge (MIT992016) will be sent to each dealership for use in completing this Emissions Recall Campaign.


Repair kits for removing the aspirator system (P/N 05013898AA), fuel pressure regulators (P/N M04883076), and PCMs (if required) are available to perform the necessary modifications to the affected vehicles. Refer to the Parts Information section of this bulletin.

*NOTE :Some early vehicles were built with a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that cannot be reprogrammed and must be replaced. If the PCM requires replacement, as determined by the service procedure, refer to the Parts Information chart to determine the appropriate replacement PCM part number.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
1995 Eclipse 2.0L Non-Turbo (420A Engine), Manual Transmission

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

A letter will be sent by first class mail to all registered owners of affected vehicles. The letter instructs them to return their vehicle to their Mitsubishi dealer so the dealer can perform this campaign procedure at no charge. A copy of this customer letter is shown with this bulletin.

if i get a full exhaust and a cold air intake will it even matter? cause it would get rid it...

It would get rid of it but it would probably still throw a cel.
