EGR delete

[Eaglebusman]

I'm wondering if a person deleted the EGR completly but kept and plugged the egr valve into the harness in some remote location would the ECM be 'smart' enough to detect it not functioning? Any thoughts?
Thanks, Hal

LBZ motor BTW

Yes, it will still know due to the flow differences

Where does it moniter the flow? Would the finger stick trick the ECM to allow the use of some of the 'canned' tunes?
Sorry, I'm a real novice where it comes to tunning. Doing swaps/fabrication is where I've been for ever.

I hear you. Crazy thing is this is in a 1975 motorhome which replaced a 440 mopar. I don't think there is any way the LBZ will make anywhere near the emissions that anchor did. At it's worst its a giant improvement for the enviroment over that gas motor.
Thanks

The ECM will see a discrepancy in the MAF readings when it's expecting the valve to be open. If you dig deep enough on the googles I'm sure the diagram for a fingerstick has been posted before, maybe not. I've never made one

I don't think there is anyone on this forum that you have to convince how stupid some of the laws are, but we have to protect the site and it's reputation so we keep illegal activities off of it

Ive always said that EGR on a diesel was the dumbest thing anyone ever thought up. Well, that was until DEF and SCR and all that BS, but it is still somewhat true.

If you Google LBZ Fingerstick, you can still find the stick/plate kits out there. Good luck.
