Dumb EGR question...

[IEATWS-6]

Is there any way to turn off the EGR with my Trinity? I have an EGR plate installed, just tired of looking at the light and clearing the code. Also, is it common to not have a EGT over 550 degrees. haven't done any heaving towing yet, just making sure that didn't sound like maybe there was an issue with the sensor.

550 is kinda low, what tune are you running/

We dont offer any EGR delete tunes, due to EPA regulations....have you looked into the finger stick?

[IEATWS-6]

I am running the 85hp tune. I was thinking they were a little low. I first questioned if I had made an error in setting the parameters when I set up the EGT sensor, but I did it again as it was explained in the manual.

[mikel]

using our EGT kit?

[IEATWS-6]

I wouldn't use anything else!

[mikel]

K...lemme check on something.

[mikel]

try rescaling a new EGT gauge and se 0-1500* for the range.

[IEATWS-6]

I will do that, thanks.

[IEATWS-6]

I did re scale it to 0-1500, but now it only runs 290-320* down the highway at 75mph. Is it possible to gave the thermocoupler installed too close to the turbo?

[mikel]

No, too close should not be a problem.

Lemme look into this.

Maybe while uncovering the answer to this issue, you can find out why it falls on it's face at WOT

[mikel]

That should not happen, never heard of that.....got a dirty fuel filter?

[IEATWS-6]

I will know today when I change it. I have only had it for a month. Dealer said it was just changed, but you know how that goes! I wanted to replace it with MY brand anyway.

[IEATWS-6]

The thing runs like a stripped-ass ape at 1/4 - 1/2 throttle, but on the floor, feels like an old four-barrel that would die out when you would mash it, then slowly take off.

[mikel]

yeah, that points to a fuel fiilter for sure.
