turning of emmisions

ok i have been thinking of gutting my cat and get rid of the system that reserculates the exhaust gases and am thinking will that make the CEL turn on? i have a base 93 stealth

Well with OBDI, you shouldn't get a CEL from the EGR blockoff..but if you do there are a bunch of easy fixes.

As far as I know, it is a hit or a miss with the cat. I've heard of OBD2 cars not getting it, and I've heard of OBD1 cars getting a CEL...so I'm not sure about that. If you're worried about it, get a $30 testpipe, and just swap the cat back during emissions.

It is impossible for us to get a CEL having a test pipe or gutted cat because there are no 02s after the cat. Also old and good, I highly doubt you even have a EGR having a 93. If you were a TT then yes you could have one but being 93 you are fed spec and fed specs didnt get a EGR.

Don't you only get a CEL if you gut the precats somtimes? And you shouldent have precats being first gen and non TT.

Yes gutted precats will throw a CEL but only in OBD2. I gutted my precats and have run for almost 2 weeks and 1k miles without a CEL. I checked with the 94-95 TT guys on 3si and they said they get no cel and dont have a simulator either. I guess having a bastard ECU is good for something after all.:p

The OBDII are all 96+ right? So i shouldent worry about it for the 95 I'm getting?

igovert500 there in my country you dont have to have a cat on your car untill 1995 so its compleatly legal to remove the cat altogether on older than 1995 vehilces

hey one more thing..... what does the tube in the air intake do? you know the small tube that comes from the engine and in to the air intake system?

The OBDII are all 96+ right? So i shouldent worry about it for the 95 I'm getting?
Nope, I confirmed my thoughts with the TT guys on 3si. Now I just need to sell the simulator.

Old and good I beleive that tube is basically just a breather.
