<![CDATA[Throwing code 16, EGR valve code, help]]>Anyone know how to get rid of it? I want to just pull the emissions all together, but I don't know if the ECU will like that too much.

all exhaust gas is is spent fuel and air that cant be burned anymore. by putting that back into the cc and basically acting like a space filler that cant be burned it essentially decreases the volume of the cc with "cooler" air that is not burning. it improves gas mileage by basically decreasing its displacemnt when its working. on probes it only works at idle and low rpm...thus making fuel mileage WORSE when taking it off. why do you think they put it on cars in the first place?

seriously tell me how this helps a car with bolt on's and still on a stock tiny turbo?

idk if this is some kind of super sweet dsm power trick or whatever but this doesnt sound like a good idea to me, unless you tune for it well. egr keeps cylinder temps down to prevent detonation and help gas mileage.

on the ford probe the egr only is working when at idle and cruiseing speeds. so it is shut off when full throttle. so all you would be doing is ruining your gas mileage.

just do what hjermy said and clean that bitch.

start there and keep us updated^^^^^
