Help!!!

Does anyone know how to install an EGT sensor?

 

What egt sensor do you need installed??

 

where do you plan on installing the sensor ?

 

On the up pipe. Either that or I need some one to clear my check engine light.

 

Why do you need to install one? the AP takes care of that CEL.

 

well I don't have an AP and I need it to pass emissions.

 

this is where the resistor mod comes up!.. give me a sec to search

 

resistor is 1/2 watt, 2.2k ohm.

Put it where the EGT write connects.

It works great.

Reset ur ECU after you do this..

 

Ummm...how do you reset it?

...I'm a noob if you can't tell

 

ok, so disconnect the battery ..pump the brakes..

you have to drive the car for a few days to build a history or you wont pass emissions.

So .. do the easy easy mod. reset.. drive around for a few days( 200 miles or so)
and there you go!

 

and this will work for an '02?

 

yes

 

which connector is it exactly?

 

the connector which ur EGT was connected to.

 

It's my favorite mod but I don't have one.

 

so can I use someones accessport to clear my CEL? or is that not possible?

 

I'll pay for gas and lunch/dinner.

 

not sure if the AP will communicate with your car, unless someone on here has a AP for your specific car....

 

Someone with the same model would have to 'unmarry' their AP for it to work with yours. Isn't hard to do but people who are paranoid about ECU problems would rather not reflash too often . Also I'm pretty sure it wouldn't retain the CEL override once you unmarried it from yours, so you'd have to borrow their AP until emissions done.

 

oh well, I can get emissions done the same day. it's ok if no one wants to do it. I guess i'll find some other way.

 

I would do the resistor mod they linked or contact your uppipe manufacturer for an EGT bung for it. You don't want to have your CEL on all the time - you'd never know if something was really wrong like I said AP would only clear it while it was married to it.

 

well does anyone know how to clear a cel code using a lap top?

 

i have heard of being done on the lap tops but i have never seen it done.... easiest way would be resistor then take it to a shop and they should turn off the light for you for no charge.. i know my shop will do that so others should...btw... after cel is out you need to do two key cycle and about 100 miles before the readiness motors will be set.... drive the car 50 or so miles and let it cool completely then drive another 50 and let it cool then your good to go!

 

thanks... what shop is yours?

 

i work at G and S Automotive and Muffler in Canton.... little far for you to drive though...

 

well I have some family in Canton so I'm always goin up there. do you know of any shops around douglasville that are good?

 

dude. do the resistor mod. PLEASE>

 

let me do some checking and i will get back to you

 

I did and I drove it around and my CEL didn't go off.

 

first. CLEAR the cell using the break pump method.

( disconnect the batt.. pump breaks for a bit)cell should be off
and remain off if you did the resistor mod and GET THE RIGHT resistor

if you did everything right and its not off
then its not the right cell.

 

well i put two resistors in because I didn't know which hole to put them in and the I reset my ECU.

 

I got it fixed... thanks guys!

 

get the resisteor thing working?

 

yeah, I had to drive it for like 230 miles tho.

 

ouch sorry man.. glad you got it.

 

yeah i guess it's different with every car. thanks again for showing me that.
