Egr! Air!

When Removed; And not tuned out, They throw codes, right? What causes them to throw codes? Is it because the computer tries to turn them on but notices that it cannot?

Ok, does anyone know if putting a correct OHM resisitor in the end of the connector would work? I know thats all the skip shift eliminators are.

I suggest doing it the right way, get the codes disabled in the PCM with a tuner.

The air will not throw a code unless you pull the fuse for it out. The EGR will throw a code tho.

Ignore the code, it won't cause any trouble.

haha those are all viable solutions, the reason i don't get them tuned out is because there isn't a competent shop within 6 hours of where i live. But no one knows if my resistor idea will work?

Put it this way, I have never heard of anybody doing it and I'm sure if it worked somebody would have discovered it by now. Maybe you should have thought about this a little more before you went ripping stuff out.

Yes, this is the route i will be taking eventually. My TA isn't my only project and is kept primarly for a Summer daily driver. This is just somthing i was curious about and that maybe somone had done this temporarily between waiting time for a tune.
