Default Egr

OK guys, on my 92 Dakota I have a new intake built by Edelbrock for Hughes Engines. It's a airgap fuel injected for the magnum engines but doesn't have the egr port. So what's the best way to eliminate the egr without setting off a code 32?

I've heard that I should just pull the whole egr mess off the engine but keep it hooked up to the ecm and vacuum lines but that seems trashy, I'd rather go high tech with some sort of resistor and or simple vacuum/switch assembly that I can hide easy.

I've been wanting to show pictures of my progress but can't figure out how to get this new Windows 8 to recognize my smart phone or even how to download a camera card.

I know you can help...Thanks

Looking at this set-up I don't see why I can't just keep the transducer plugged in to the ecm and hide it. I don't see anywhere that the ecm is asking for feed back from anything unless it's looking for an O2 signal change.

You can try just leaving it plugged into the solenoid/vacuum modulator and get rid of the rest of the EGR stuff. As long as the PCM sees the resistance in the solenoid you should be all set. The solenoid is black and you can just zip tie it to the wiring harness and anybody looking under your hood will be none the wiser.

I did the same thing, except with an M1 intake. I kept the transducer plugged in. You will still occasionally get a CEL. And it may not always runs exactly right, when I still ran the stock or Mopar PCM, I'd get a very occasional (once a month?) intake backfire when stomping on it.

Does anyone know the resistance of the transducer? Im going to also delete mine and if I can find the resistance of the transducer then plan on wiring in a resistor of the same value. Or does it fluctuate?

Unfortunately JR, it won't work that way. It is a transducer which converts pressure into an electrical signal that is sent to the PCM.

I did what az 360 said and just plugged it in and stashed the transducer up under the intake. It looks like it's mounted there and I've gotten no codes. Did the same thing with the fuel vapor solenoid, same thing, no codes.
