Default egr delete running rich.

I recently deleted my egr solenoid. will this cause the car to run rich?? i also took off all the air pump stuff and left the pump plugged in but looped the air hose back into its self.. and added headers and throttle body. i left the little solenoid on the driver side plugged in also. im waiting to get a retune but im wondering if doing all the things i listed above would make it run rich?

What made you come to the conclusion that the car is running rich? Do you have a wideband? Are you monitoring the O2s?

You don't list your mods other than you have a cam. Did you get it tuned for the cam?

Details, man.

Was it tuned for those bigger-than-you-need injectors?
You may as well pull the AIR pump off. And, no. Deleting the EGR won't make your car run rich. I would make sure the coolant temp sensor is plugged in, and that the connector is in good condition. If you don't know, that is the little 2 wire sensor on the water pump, driver's side.
Hope this helps.

yes the car was tuned for the injectors. and yes it ran fine before i deleted the egr and air pump tubing,headers and throttle body..it could be a number of things at this point. i checked the water temp sensor wire and its good no ses lights either

You may have just had a temp sensor, MAP sensor, or MAF sensor fail. May net be anything you did. Somebody that knows what they are doing needs to scan it for you.

I left something out. The throttle body I put on it was for a tpi so I bought the tps pigtail and wired it in. I was having trouble because they put the wires in the connector wrong to when I gave it gas the volts would go down instead of up. I think I got that fixed. I set the volts for .7v at idle and it goes to 4.8v at wot. Maybe this is the problem
