Author Topic: smog elimination ?'s mustanggt5091 All I need is..... Member # 444 posted                              Ok Im trying to get my car running and came across a little problem. As most of you know I put in a 357w into my 88 GT. I no longer have a EGR, Smog pump, or any other smog devices. For those of you that have or now about this I have a question for you! If I leave the sensor that goes to the charcol cannister off will it through a code and make my check engine light come on and/or cause any tuning issues when I get to the dyno with the PMS system? Second question is witht the egr sensor, what do I need to do if I am not going to have one anymore and will it cause any problems when tuning with the PMS? Lastly, can the PMS system bypass the sensors and make the check engine light turn off if need be? Any help would be great, once I get this resolved and a new fuel rail comes, she will be ALIVE! -------------------- 88 GT 357w (SOLD):( 06 Limited Edition R6 !!!!!

Not sure what the exact resistance is on each but im sure you can do some research on corral and come up with that one. -------------------- 92GT,stock short block,9:1 TFS 170's,perf rpm,custom cam,1 5/8 shorties,C4 trans. std. 356hp, 350tq 11.85@111.9mph on motor.

I did run the EGR valve though. Like Mike stated, you need to find out the voltage for the EGR (what the EEC looks for), slave in a resistor, and you'll be good to go. The PMS could care less about the smog equipment. As for the rest of the equipment, zip-tie all the connectors together and hide them in the inner fenderwell. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : mustanggt5091 All I need is.....
