I drive a 97 f150 with the 5.4 and my cel is on and it says evap gross leak something egr. I replaced the the sensor or dpfe or whatever it is and cleard the code but it came back on i didnt know what to do so i just took the bulb out of the cel but i would like to know how do you remove the egr.........

 

I'm curious to see how this gets answered - if you get one that is....

 

well someone said that you didnt need it some one from this sight so i was curios

 

I took all mine off, didnt need it... Doesnt run any better, or worse.

 

But how is there not anything that needs to be pluged capped or sealed can i have details

 

I took my egr tube off, plugged the header, and then you put a block off plate on the manifold, then plug the vacuum lines.

 

you don't really need it but it will be better in the long run to just fix the problem.
What was the code? maybe just a bad gas cap leak.

With no CEL bulb in you wont know if anything serious is wrong, like a misfire.

I removed all of the emission stuff on the stang but also had it turned off in the PCM.

 

and that didnt set a cel or make the truck do nothing different and while i have you talking to me i have a question for you i have true duals and no mufflers with 5in tips to a forty five i want my truck louder if i just take the resinators off and leave the cats how much louder are we talking and if i take the 2 cats off and replace with i flow cats that you talk about how big of a difference will that make cause like i have said before most of my friends drive a chevy even though they know i can out run them i cant touch them on the loudnest of there pipes

 

Cut all 4 off and install 2 high flows, it will burn cleaner and sound much better! My truck runs exactly the same as it did with the egr.

 

i had i miss fire on the number 2 cylynder and i dont need a light i can hear and feel that trust me. what you you recomend on what kind of heads to get

 

yea lol, but dont take the bulb out, there are many problems that you could not detect. check your other post for the head suggestion

 

EGR helps cool the combustion chamber, reducing NOX, increasing fuel mileage, reducing the chances of preignition (allowing for more timing advance).

All good, no bad.

Remove it if you want, or spend a little time learning how the system works and how to fix it.

 

I know i should not have taking it out but its been on for two years and i am just so tired of looking at it it just feels so good to not see that light when i go down the road now i just didnt know how to fix it or what to do

 

im sure every engine acts different, but i didnt loose fuel mileage or get preignition. I dont see how it cools the combustion chamber, my inlet air is a lot cooler than the exhaust.

 

HI!... If you remove the EGR you can tune around it. IMO it's a useless piece of equippment. It only function at part throttle cruising speeds anyway. Doesn't work at idle and not at WOT.
