Fitting the EGR Cheater

[moosey]

Any advice on how to remove the connector on the EGR? Not sure where the 'clips' mentioned on page 1 are - don't want to give it too much force in case I break the connector

 

[vocky]

you remove the grey retainer clip, use a screwdriver and lever it off, then push the tab down and the plug slides easily off

Hello

This is my first post because I have a problem with faulty egr. I know this is a vx220 forum, but this is the closest I could find and I'm desperate for any help. I'm truing to make egr cheater with relay since my engine is Z16XE, but I have a few questions and I will appreciate if someone could answer me.

1. In this scheme do I need to connect pin C, since I see that you removed it from updated scheme of your cheater?

2. Do I Connect pins to connector according to this photo - pin E to the left, and pin A to the right?

I got all parts ready, but I don't want to start assembling until I'm sure what I'm doing since I'm not really expert in this field. Can anyone help me?

vocky? someone?

Hey peeps,

I made a EGR cheater according to a picture found in the earlier pages. It used ABDE pins and had no relay. Got it installed and now ECU finds number 12 Initiation of diagnostics fault as well as the earlier number 47 EGR fault. What did I fumble? I drive a 1994 Astra F 8v 1.6i. Thanks in advance

Which picture did you make the EGR cheater from?

Vocky's 2007 version at the first page of this forum.

Also please confirm that my wires went the right way (I did cut them a bit too soon ):

A: yellow/black, 0V
B: brown, output signal
C: brown/blue, not connected
D: black/white, 5V
E: black, 12V

Z22se cheater won't work on any other engine.

As Daz has said, the EGR Cheater on here will ONLY work on the Z22SE

Oops, my bad Would a page 4 design work? I think the engine is X16SZ.

Or would sale's circuit fit that is behind the link posted just above?

 

[Kimmo Salin]

Update: the page 4 design keeps ECU happy on X16SZ until the engine hits high revs. I'll take this discussion to mk3oc.com where it belongs. Thanks for the design and help

We only do the plug in version, but if you can wait a day or two next week until the new parts turn up, I can make one and leave the connections longer, so you can solder in place?

 

[martin smith sri c]

That would be ideal I saw vocky with the one in the tray was hoping it was that one lol
I can wait car still runs ok just eml coming on is worrying

 

[Matt]

EML won't hurt as long as the EGR is blanked off. I ordered all the parts today, and they should be with me on Tuesday.

 

[martin smith sri c]

Should I get eml turned off due to loosing engine coolant tho. With new cheater will that cure eml coming on possibly
