what should i do? code came up egr malfunction. im sending my pcm soon to madz28, should i just have him delete it out and remove the egr and block it off?/?

 

well i guess i will get it deleted out, can i just leave it connected?? i want to block it off, but i dont see how i could do that without taking the intake manifold off. i did a search and read some threads but didnt get any info that i needed. from what ive read some ppl say no and ya, is this gonna hurt anything??

 

You can block off the EGR if you do not have emmisions testing in your area. You will also have to have the EGR deleted out of the PCM or you will get a SES light on a 97.

On 96 and 97 LT1s you can get the EGR valve fixed for free if you have under 100K on it. I will send you an email I recived a few years back with an attachment of a scanned GM recall sheet. The quality of the attachment really sucks but you can read it. I had to get the number off the top of the recal papaer for them to look up. Hope this helps

 

if you could send me that sheet that would be great, canden27@hotmail.com . my buddy is a mechanic and said as long as there is no ses light or thrown codes it will pass. dont lt4 not have egr??

 

Can you please send me that recall sheet to me. I cant seem to find any info about that recall I have my ses light and I am getting an egr code too. My email address is andrewmirza@yahoo.com Thanks

 

warbird27, I sent you the email last night. I some how deleted it from my folder when I did so if you could forward it to me at Mastermatt88@yahoo.ie and to 96killaz. I don't know how the hell I managed to delete it.

 

Are you sure the recall is still active? I looked it up and found that there were no recalls for a 1996 or 1997 camaro for the egr.

Remember Warbird please send me, andrewmirza@yahoo.com and 97pontta, Mastermatt88@yahoo.ie a copy of that email that pontta sent you.... Thanks

 

Well that is why you need the number off the paper. I went to the dealership when I wanted mine done and they told me there were no recalls. I went home and printed off the recall sheet and went back to the dealership. The service director looked up the number on the sheet and said that there was a recall after all. I had argued with the guy for 20 minutes before I brought the print off with me, after that they fixed it no questions asked

 

Yeah, I called the dealer and looked it up on the net and found nothing. I really hope warbird sends me that recall sheet.

 

Ask Ion about this, but i think that all that happens when it is deleted is that it turns off the trouble code, the EGR will still try to function. If its gone, just nothign will happen, if its still all hooked up, then it will function the best it can.

I just left mine all hooked up b/c there are some benefits to the EGR.

 

i thought there was. im gonna do the same. thanks for the help. and 97 pontta, thank god i checked my junk mail, bc for some reason it wassent to that instead of inbox. i emailed it to ya.

 

Warbird27 or 97pontta can one of you please email me the recall sheet @ andrewmirza@yahoo.com The dealers dont have any info about the egr recall. Thank you, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

could one of you guys send me the recall to kcmtrh@***.net i just called up the dealership and they said there were no recalls.
