Quick question for those in the know.
I'm going to install the CEL resistor mod for EGR. I don't want to remove the EGR parts just yet, but I do wanna turn that sucker off to prevent the carbon and heat issues that apparently effect cycl. 5 and 6. Anyway, what is the easiest and quickest thing I can do to stop it from operating? Then, If it is not functioning, do the hoses need to be plugged/capped, or can they remain open? Not sure if air will effect the engine if i leave them open/uncapped. If i do cripple it, will leaving EGR valve in place and not sealing the valves (wits end keychain) have any adverse effects? I guess the EGR cripple wlll essentially prevent air from getting in to the engine, ya?
In my head. I'm imagining that I can just take one step so that EGR doesn't work anymore, and then install the resistor mod so the CEL doesn't come on, and Wa-la. Done.
