egr leak=lean? found my egr on my intake was leaking, will it cause it to throw a lean code? Put rtv on it and around it to try and seal it. Seems the threaded part is coming out of the intake.

If there is a leak there then yes it could throw that code. The throttle determines how much air is needed in the engine, it cannot do a proper job if the engine is sucking air from elsewhere. If the RTV does not work just put an expandable freeze plug in place of the EGR. There are many threads on the subject of removing the EGR. I have had mine off ever since my header install and have not noticed any KR with EFIlive. The only KR I have noticed was once during a WOT run and the EGR does not even work during WOT. Try going to http://www.ls1camaro.net/sections.ph...ticle&artid=70 for more info on how to rid your car of EGR and the AIR systems.
