EGR Delete?

[Stangcobra1122]

So the dealership doing my Aluminator swap finished the swap today, but are telling me that my motor is throwing an EGR code. Since I'm the second owner I have no idea if the car was reflashed or not, but I assume it was if theyre throwing this code.
So my question is how can I get rid of the code, do I need to delete the physical EGR or will a SCT reflash/tune from a shop deal with it
Thanks

Just turn it off with a SCT reflash, you can leave all the egr stuff there or just physically delete it too.

Aight so buy the SCT tuner from americanmuscle and it can just turn it off?

It has to be done in the tune. So when you get a tune from someplace tell them you want the EGR turned off.

The advantage to the delete is to prevent the heat soak from coming up the tube from the header into the manifold (regardless if the EGR purges or not) . Basically, this means even if it is turned off the manifold is still heated by it.

Okay thanks, apparently after getting the car back and talking to the mechanic I have a p1000 code, or drive cycle not complete, the car will not drive cycle as a result of something to do with the egr, this is rather strange

The EGR is part of the emissions. If the computer can't run the test needed on the EGR because it's turned off the P1000 code will never clear. I ended up turning it off in my tune.

So what do I need to do to get that code to disappear, my tags are expired and I need to pass inspection before I get new ones

Just drive the car, p1000 doesn't turn on the light on.

But without the EGR active the P1000 won't ever go away. I was able to turn off the P1000 in my tune and the smog station didn't pick it up.
