hi guys,,,right ive removed all my emmisions crap,,, air pump, swithching valve, all pipes,,, the 2 solenoids on the rack that are no longer needed and the solenoid vacuume pipes have been removed or capped..
I know that running on the standard ECU will throw up some error codes for the stuff that has been unplugged and removed,,,, but what about running and driving the car,, (will probably have a lumpy idle due to the air pump removal and O2 sensor feed back been misread),,, but what about running and driving the car,, im presuming none of the solenoids and sensors removed will put the car into limp mode and the only thing that should really be affected is the idle,,, can someone who has done the emmisions removal give me some feed back please?
thanks

 

The limp mode will make the car very slow .If you wire in resistors in the harness to replace the solenoids then the ECU will not know the difference ,and not go to limp mode

 

to be honest garco,,,im not sure the car will go into limp mode,,,,(ive had the car in limp mode before when my OMP failed,, so i know you cant drive like this),,, but not every sensor malfunction puts the car in limp mode.. so id like to hear from some one that has done the same as me...

 

It will go into limp mode. The EGR will do it for sure, happened when mine was all carboned up. I would also listen to Garco he is quit wise when it comes to the FD, and has gave me a great deal of knowlage in the past.

 

In US models, a missing (or malfunctioning) EGR should only throw a code. It will only throw a code on '93 California and all '94 models (models with the electronic sensor). This might only be for US models. There's a neat relay trick for those with these models.

 

right,,,,im from the UK with a japanese car,,,, so the car never came with EGR,,,,,,,,,someone must have tried running a car on standard ECU with all the solenoids removed.

 

If the OMP fails, the car will go into limp mode? Really? I didn't know that.

 

the OMP has a motor and potentiometer to detect position of motor,,, if either fail and the ECU detects it,,, car will go into limp mode (lol ask me how i know),,,,

 

Well how about you try it then and see what happens.

 

lol looks like im gonna have to,,,,im just nearly ready to start the car after installing new turbos and removing all the emmisions crap,,, im sure it will start fine and run ok i was just wondering about the overall running of the car (think i better install the power FC i bought and have done with the crapy standard ECU,,, was gonna save the power FC until i got the car to a tunner),,
