Thanks for being straightforward. I hate when people delay the question they have in the title.

[dovemfg]

I appreciate that you answer the question immediately.

[mississippistrutin]

Wow straight to the point. You truly are a good person

[SkinnyAndFast]

Thanks for all the info man. Just picked up one of these cars and I’ve had my head buried in forms, pages and YouTube videos the last three weeks learning all I can learn. Your channel is definitely helped. Thanks!

Omg thank u this answers all my questions I have Ben looking for for 3 years now. Even shops couldn’t tell me. Your awesome!!

Remember to always register your vehicle in a state or region with no emissions testing. No smog checks here in Michigan, so that's good.

Thank you, straight to the answer. Ive been dealing with the code popping up everytime after my egr delete. I wonder if you could place a jumper wire in the old egr plug and trick the ecu that it is there? Or would still sense it somewhere else?

[MrAcuta]

Stupid short and sweet...answered my question. Plug in and deselect that code for OBDII...couldn't be easier. Thank you!

[LordFarquad]

Haha! Answered my question with a video, good stuff, thanks Cameron!

It depends on the car some do some don't. I have personally blanked around 20 cars and some are OK others need a small hole to allow a little gas to cerculate. You can not sit there and say YES blanking the egr puts on the eml conclusively because yours did.

I looked into the tuning and turning off the light. What you are doing is turning off that monitor. In New York State just like California the smog Inspection computer looks for the EGR and other monitors.

If the inspection computer doesn’t find them or the data doesn’t meet the specs your car won’t pass and won’t be legal.

For Gen1 owners out there the code will be just one, PCM P0403 .

Quick question, First Wow think you for straight talk. Im in Canada and my truck is 2002 Esc EXT. question. If I do EGR delete on gas, do you think it;ll run ok? Like idle horse power? I just had a ordeal new plugs sensor's fuel pump coils. at the end of it the 19 year old EGR pipe broke, fn spent near 400 on new one but my mechanic forgot the darn gasket. ( can you believe its 4 days with for a gasket to arrive. I need to work so was wondering if my guy just fn blocked it how the truck would work. I know it will be in like Tuesday or Wednesday But I got work tonight ! lol just wondering was all.

Huh, my 2006 Hawkeye went undetected for years from an EGR delete. Put block plate and place the stock EGR valve back over so it looks stock lol. But you right, it absolutely is not legal in CA.

[DanielGonzalez-hmny]

Sweet videos man. I've learned quite a bit. I just recently bought a 2010 Mazdaspeed3 in liquid silver with only 18k miles on it. Stock motor too, nothing done to it at all. Interior is in immaculate condition..even the plastics under the hood still have that new plastic glossy look to them. Still had the stock Dunlop tires when I got it too! Hopefully she lasts me a while. It's too pristine which makes me not even want to drive it hard lol. Gonna get a rear motor mount on it though, the stock one really does suck.

[zacharycanright]

Good information. Thanks. I think I will put my EGR back in and resign myself to cleaning the carbon out of the intake every year or so.

[Snceday]

Imagine blowing head gaskets from blocking egr. That would suck

[khanibrahim]

Does adding a blanking plate throws CEL ?

[waresgarage]

Not anymore Cobb took out that function so people can still buy the Cobb AP in California, so no the EGR stuff they can’t take out anymore so It will stay on now

[hacatan]

Thank you.. I got the same code too... Insufficient flow.... I am going to look up somewhere here where I live if anybody can tune the car out and delete the codes... Someone told me they don't come up but it came up right away..
