Hey guys i put a b16 mani and i dont have the egr plugged but the ecu now throw me a code.my question is is there a way to eliminate the egr to not throw a code.a way to manipulate the flow of the egr?

Sorry I just read your post over. I dont think you can eliminate the code
The only way to elimate that code is to get a jdm accord ecu. I suggest you have a plate made to block the egr port and maybe just put black tape over the check engine light. Or just unplug the light in the dash.

I think what happens is the egr opens and then the ECU is waiting for the right signal from the O2 sensor saying it's okay to shut off the EGR again...
Well when you remove the EGR now there are no gasses to lower the temp and you getting more nox, the O2 keeps saying it needs EGR, I guess the ECU eventually gets the hint that the EGR isn't operating like it should and throws a code.
A long long time ago I got the bright idea to change my thermostat just cuz .Well of course the bolts broke off and i ended up pulling the housing and retapping the holes. When I put it back together I forgot that pipe that goes from the exhuast manifold to the EGR. I just cut it and plugged both ends with big bolts and high temp permatex. No codes no worries. The sensors still hooked up just the pipe aint piping.
Try hooking up the thing and zip tie it under the hood. I dont think it need exhuast gas to read just gotta read metal. Mines a 88 lxi.

yea i was gonnaa say that to i l also have the b16 mani butin my b20a jsut plug up the egr wires and zip tie it and hide it thats whaty im doin :stupid:
Justin(86) figured out how to fool the EGR and ECU into thinking its working, but its actually open all the time. You just have to tie a couple wires together. If he doesnt get to it first, i'll dig up the instructions on what you need to do.
what 2 wires do u need to connect to fool the ecu?
anyone figure out what wires to tie into? I want to get rid of the egr

i'm guessing you just jump the two prongs on the EGR plug with a piece of wire and tape it securely. :dunno:Quote:

hey.. thats great advice - pull the light and pretend it is not a problem... hmmm
damn it i want to know how to wire it, and im gonna find out, asap, how ever even if I took the bulb out it would just piss me off for having to do so, g damnit!!!!!:uh: :stupid:Quote:

b8er think you could find me an ECU so I can pull this off without dealing with the lame as light being on all the time,I am tired of my egr screwing my idle...all it does is rev up an down up and down-but when I push in the diaphragm it stops so I figured I would just deleated the damn thing permenitly
im in the middle of rebuilding an se-i motor so i dont have alot of spare time inbetween work and the motor but il definatly keep an eye out for one, to be honest , i dont even know if there any different , i just know my car runs just fine, aha, yea il keep an eye out but i just dont have the time to run to the JY to pull one
about a month ago i blocked the egr on my a20a3 off by making a gasket and putting it in between where the egr pipe meets the intake manifold. i didn't touch any of the wiring or the valve and i have never had the ecu throw a code.
i did change plugs from BPR6 to BPR7.
I assume you've solved this by now, all you need to do is leave the wiring connected, along with the vacuum line, and hide the stupid thing somewhere.
What am I, the only person who has ever read the factory service manual?
I've answered this question probably 10 times on here..
The valve has a lift sensor that will tell the computer if it's not moving, and then the ecu goes into that annoying high idle mode. you can't just connect some type of resistor, the valve needs to actually be able to move, hence everything remaining connected to it. If you had the stock IM, all you would have had to do is stick a piece of gasket in at the connection to the IM, blocking that pipe. 5 min fix.
