Alfashark Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Most of the issue lies with the PCV being hooked up upstream of the EGR valve - Hot exhaust gasses tend to bake the shit out of the oil vapour and it collects as that thick black crud in the valve. Throw a decent catch-can and/or vent the PCV line into a chassis leg and they seem to last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 But if you just block it in the first place, then none of your intake or engine gets filled with crap surely it would be worth giving a false signal to the ecu and still blocking it on a modern car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 It's easier to just reflash the ecu to never use the egr and just leave it on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Ah yeah well that's sweet too then, it just seems like a source of trouble battery cars are the future, so let's just make gas cars rediculous monsters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mof Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've heard a rumor, that i can't substantiate without more research, that if you drill a small hole in the block off plate, it won't throw a code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 What Peugeot have you got @peteretep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 ah I didnt buy one just yet, was girlfriends parents. but it was a 407 break. Not a bad car except for all the typical early 2000's integrated stereos and dash boards which are all failing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I bought an EGR blanking thing for my mum's 308 HDi for like £1.99 on eBay 4lols. Doesn't throw any codes but i cant remember if the guy did any trickery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I just made one out of a bit of plate, I figured it might not do too much immediately, considering I didnt clean out any of the other gunk, but it would stop it getting worse at the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Any experience on aftermarket wiring kits? I'm rethinking my plan of building my own loom up for the SR Morris. The injection wiring is already working but i need something for lights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Pretty sure Spence used one in his buick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yea used the EZ wire one or whatever it was called. Its built to go in GM shit to some degree as it plugs into the GM ignition box on the column and saves wiring up the key stuff. Otherwise its built to be generic as well, just takes some more work. Fuse box is nice and the wires were all labelled on the sheathing. Works out a bunch easier and tidier than most DIY build your own fuse block stuff I have seen, especially for me as it was designed with US cars in mind. There are smaller and more generic ones also, have a google. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Looking for reasons why my toyota ob1 based manual transmission based ecu with no pin out for a vehicle speed sensor would bring up engine light and log fault code 42 (vehicle speed sensor fault) Car is Toyota crown with 2jz swap.

AllTorque Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It probably uses a speed sensor for speed cut at 180kph I think the signal usually comes from the speedo. You probably don't need it, but I'm not sure how to make the code go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I believe the looms have the wires for the speed sensor in them even if not used. When not used they are looped back somehow. This is from other ECU's I have been reading about so YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Well can rule out loom. The current setup is a cut down crown loom spliced to a supra ecu. Will investigate what you are getting at Roger but im pretty sure that would also have a pin out on the ecu for vss... hmmm. I might just also ignore it Need to figure out why my fuel pump sounds like it belongs in s nascar. Fuck it is loud. And gotten louder.

tortron Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Vvs may not go direct to ecu and go via Speedo. This happens in VP commodores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Yeah if anything I would be looking at the loom even harder now because it's 2 cut together. The looped wire is more likely missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
