EGR temp sensor
I remember reading about being able to put a resistor in that will make the ecu think it is there but cant find the thread. Just need to know the resistor size that was being used. seems like i remember it was a 10k ohm. Someone that has done this please verify. I am not looking for reason to or not to do this just the resistor size...thanks KG

Ok about this whole EGR thing. My truck has been having some idlin issues and to basically sum it all up, if i unplug the vaccum line running to the top of the EGR, my truck runs fine? would it be ok just to pop a 10 ohm resistor in he line and drive my truck?

why did you take your egr off? has it caused any ping?

1. Unplug the EGR gas temperature sensor, letting the pigtail hang free.
2. Place a 10k ohm resistor in the engine wiring harness connector end(to the ECM) between the two exposed terminals. Securing/sealing it in some fashion inside the connector, so it doesn't fall out or corrode(solder, tape, glue, RTV, etc.).
3. Run the engine and see if the CEL has gone out.
Here's all the pics you need:

I didnt take it off its blocked off. The top vac hose i put a small ball bearing in. After a put the cam in i could get it to idle nice but it would run correctly. With it blocked off it idles and runs perfect

Thanks mudhippy the only reason i asked is cause i dont know squat about electrical wiring on car/trucks. So just unhook the plug and put the 10k resistor in making sure it don't come loose.
