LCE performance sells the block off plates for those of you who dont have to do emissions. i know you can make your own, or if your lazy cou can spend the $20 and just buy these.

Will the absence of a 10K resistor make the 3.0 not start? It cranks but doesn't turn over.

 

I guess that might depend on how exactly you blocked it off. There are different methods I've seen posted here.

The way I blocked mine was at the intake with a piece from a coke can. With that method I have had no problems at all. I'm not throwing the code and don't need the resistor setup.

The only time my truck ever cranked but didn't turn over was when I kept blowing the efi fuse, that was only because the o2 sensor wire was touching the exhaust.

 

I blocked off the intake with a coke can then a piece of sheet metal. and the exhaust part just with 2 coke can pieces.

It started up yesterday and i turned it off. Then i tried to start it up again it just crank and cranks but never turns over

 

I'd check all my fuses first. Did the non-starting problem happen right after you blocked it off?

 

Now that i think about it. I washed my engine bay and i might of gotten my ditributor cap wet. Ahhh... Thanks for your help. I think i know why its not starting.


But i havent put a 10k resistor on the temp sensor yet. should I?

 

I wouldn't put any resistors on if they're not necessary. If you're not throwing a code and it's running like it should (after you get it running that is) there's really no point.

 

ok so i can just leave that sensor there right? and it did stop throwing the code after i removed the egr.
Now i just have to see why it wont start:/

 

Yeah, I'd leave everything there just invade you have to hook it back up for emissions or something.

We have no emissions here in tennessee =)

 

I understand. And we have no emissions down here in South Texas!

 

One of the many reasons I love Tennessee

 

No state taxes either!

Where about in tn are you airkewld?

 

I live in Tucson, AZ right now but have a residence in TN still and my folks live there also. They live in Kingston. I reckon it's about 2 and a half hours SE of you.

 

Oh ok, I was gonna ask if you knew of any good trails around here.

The ones around here are now mostly posted

 

the resistor turns the check engine light off thats all

 

I do know of some but my buddies who do still live there know exactly where they are. I only know how to get to them from my parent's house. They are in Oliver Springs. It's a far drive for you though.

 

Alright, for the first moments of my 4runner running after removing the egr valve and there was no code thrown without a resistor the CEL turns on...

I went by Radioshack and picked up some 10K 1/4Watt resistors. put one in and my CEL is still on... Any ideas?

 

reset the code
did you bridge the connector ?

 

reset the code?

Bridge it as in putting each side of the resistor into each side of the connector??

 

Just did this mod a few days ago and my truck now has BALLZ 2500-3000 pulls harder and at 5000+ your glued to your seat and my MPG when up best cheap mod ive ever done! Have a few pics as well.

So i removed the pipe from the EGR that goes into the Intake plenum.


Plugged that Vac line with a screw.


Made the blocking plate to close off the hole where the EGR exhaust tube use to be.


Also i didnt have a EGR temp sensor in its place is what looks like to me to be a dud sensor plug with a resistor in it.


I didn't completely remove the EGR so i just plugged the hole where the pipe from the EGR used to be by reusing the nut and J.B welding a screw into it so it wouldnt leak and so far its holding up. Oh and the finished result below.
