Manual with an EGR???

Okay, many people have said: “EGR’s are only on Automatic transmissions.”

Well let me be the first to tell you I have a 93 LS MANUAL and my intake manifold has… Guess what? an EGR.

So my question is when I do this LS/VTEC… I’m using a DOHC-Chipped p28 because I’m OBD-1… Will that ECU look for an EGR? Also, do I hafta get a new engine harness?

Any info is appreciated.

Not possible. The EGR system is only found on the auto. Honda’s. What part convinces you that you have an EGR? To have a complete EGR sys. you need the EGR valve, valve lift sensor, vacuum control valve and the control solenoid. Most of which is found in the control box on the firewall of the auto’s above the fuel filter. What part are you stuck on and maybe I can help you out.

Well the acura Automotive parts diagram of my intake manifold says that the part is an EGR… A lot of ppl have told me it’s this, or that… it’s the big valve on runner closest to the distributor. it’s WAAAAAY WAY bigger than the TA sensor. held by two bolts (And they’re VERY hard to get out. I still haven’t yet)

:gay: :gay: :gay:

that can’t be the auto was the only one with an egr. they must of switch intakes.

I have a 5 speed manual and my Intake manfiold had an egr, the motor was swapped in from an auto. Runs fine, no worries

i swaped my 91 ls from a auto to a 5-speed. does this mean that my EGR doesn’t work now or what?

Well that must have been what this guy did… he must’ve used the head from an auto or something… maybe he blew it sky high before I bought it… Good thing I got forged pistons/rods. hehe

The egr will remain closed and inop. If it bothers you that bad, buy an aftermarket manfiold or a 5 speed manual intake.

Yea… thanks for the help but u totally missed teh point :wink:
I’m doin LS/VTEC and my new manifold doesn’t have an EGR but the old manifold did… And the EGR was even plugged into the engine harness.

So I’m just wondering if the chipped p28 ECU is gonna throw codes… But I guess we’ll just hafta find out.

i have the problem too…i just swapped in a CRV motor and im getting a code 12 (EGR). im even using a skunk2 manifold. HOw can i fix this??

Didn’t you do an auto-manual coversion? Did you also switch to a manual ECU as well?

Nah… I sold the auto and bought a Manual. :-/

LeftCorner- my car is now manual but i was still using the auto ecu. it didnt throw any codes until i swapped the motor.

Swap ECu’s, swap it to0 a 5 speed manual and you won’t get the code 12.
