Egr???

[sho_me92]

I didnt know where to post this so i thought this would be a good spot.... OK so i got rid of my EGR valve bacuse the egr tube broke so i blocked off everything and put a non EGR valve computer in my car. and now my car dont get as good as gas mileage as it used to ... what im asking is if anyone has a extra egr tube it is just laying around that i could but from them? so i can put it back on..THANKS

You may want to post up in the Wanted to Buy section that you're looking for an EGR tube.

Though I'm curious about your fuel mileage problem... if you've blocked the EGR passages and switched the computer I don't see why the missing EGR would still lead to poor fuel mileage?

While an '89 B9Bx PCM swap should not effect your mileage, winter and ethanol gas formulations could.

Well, I know there were at least a few differences in 89s versus the rest. If I were you I'd try for a computer from a 91-up, and make sure it came from a non-EGR equipped car.

Did you remove the DPFE sensor as well?

While technically, there are several handfuls of small, programmatic differences between all of the '89-'95 V6 MTX computer calibrations, none of them are significant enough to warrant an effect on overall gas mileage. Similarly, a non-functioning, disabled or absent EGR system also should not have a significant effect on overall gas mileage, even when the original EGR-based computer is being used.

Trust me on this one.

If you have the old EGR I would just get it fixed if you want to install it back in. That is what I did as they are fragile and break easily. I had mine silver welded. Works great.
