Got code for bad egr valve for my '88 f250 460/auto. Can I eliminate it and fool the computer? Thanks

 

I did on my 89 f150 5.8. I haven't delt with the 460, so I think you can get a egr elim kit from RJM.

RJM Injection Tech — EGR Eliminator
RJM Injection Tech — 2-7/8

 

In short No. The computer looks for position feedback from the EVP sensor and also that the valve moves correctly when it commands it to via the EVR solenoid, so there is no eliminating it without throwing codes and setting off the check engine light.

 

thats not exactly true... When I installed LT headers on my 89 I disconnected the feed tube to the EGR valve, capped off the bottom, and left everything else plugged in. No codes, and the engine runs fine... i didnt eliminate it per se, but it isnt hooked up anymore.

 

Yes exactly.. you disabled the system which isn't the same as completely removing(eliminating) it.

 

I got it block off, and the emlinator from RJM and I don't get any EGR codes. The EGR is completely gone.
