I just tried checking my codes without a scanner and got 332. I am not sure if I got that right but it could be. I have searched and read that you can elimanite it. How hard is that to do and how do u do it? Also would this be hurting performance? My car will not even spinout.

Insufficient EGR flow right? I think I have that now that I no longer run EGR. Do you still have the EGR hooked up? I would think that the valve is stuck closed or something. Might wanna check it out. If you decide to delete the EGR, then the only real way to not throw a code anymore is to delete it from the PCM. Good luck

The EGR increases fuel efficiency via allowing inert gasses into the chambers. This cools the chambers, allows timing to be advanced a decent amount, and allows injector pulsewidth to be pulled back. Yet it is not functional at WOT, so no WOT performance detriment.

The only reason I would remove it would be for aesthetics. And I would only remove it if turning off the EGR function in the computer. The resistor and plunger tricks are generally only to trick the CEL.

GT's have enough detonation issues without introducing another spot for more to creep in - If EGR is removed but the puter does not know about it, there is no inert gas diluting the mixture, while there remains more timing and less fuel (which would be proper if EGR was present).
Hmmm, seems to me that this is a reason GT's ping as it is.

Just my unpopular opinion.

NOTE that not everyone sees detonation at part throttle after EGR removal. But I would be prepared to deal with it, should it pop up.

Good luck.

I agree completely, the only reason I removed mine is because the tube wouldn't reach the intake after the new H/C swap, and I had to cut the pipe to get it off. But if you DO have a faulty EGR, and access to a tuner, then taking it off and deleting it from the computer shouldn't hurt performance or lead to detonation. Plus it's usually easier just to take it off than to put a new one on.

I got that same code after my intake swap. I guess while I was removing the connection to the elbow I broke the little green plastic-like tube. I simply fixed the break in the tube and the code went away. If you want a picture I can get you one, but its just a little green tube that I believe plugs into the intake elbow.


Of course you could just remove the EGR as talked about above....
