EGR pipe...?

Question

the EGR pipe on my 89 tbird has been broken for a couple months. i made a new pipe that just goes up to the EGR sensor, but i blocked off the EGR. recently the Check Engine light has been coming on at about 90mph. the light goes out when i slow down. the only code the EEC shows is "insufficient back pressure".i cant find a new one anywhere. its too muddy this time of year to get one frow a wrecker.

im looking for a place to get an automotive part,not directions for my life

Answer 1

When you say new one, are you checking with the Ford dealers?

Yes I'm being sort of a a**, but I also know a good ford dealer will put it on a locator system they have that basically quizzes every Ford dealer in the nation and some of the NOS (new Old Stock) dealers out there...

If not, get one ordered from a junkyard down south where it ain't hard to get one (but be warned, they break when taken off usually)

Answer 2

Yes your going to need a EGR and DPFE sensor hooked to that EGR pipe with both hoses to keep the engine light out. If you live where there are no emission test great. But here in smoggy Texas engine light means fix the problem or not drive that car.

Answer 3

Go to www.junkyarddog.com and enter the part you are searching for. They will canvass the countries junkyards for free and email you people who have the part you need. I've used it many times with great success. It's a great service.

And I don't care if you drive 120 and your check engine light stays on forever!

Answer 4

simple don't drive 90 mph it can kill drive 70 and stay safe problem solved nothing is that important that you have to drive 90 and risk your life over . be responsible and live to enjoy life

Answer 5

90 mph,its like the doctor says ,if it hurts when you do that,then dont do it.other than that replace the part asap AND SLOW DOWN,THE LIFT YOU SAVE COULD BE YOUR OWN
