EGR valve?? Must be a usdm thing 
Have fun when smog time comes around... i know i will.

those crazy egr valves
well i had the check light on my car for a code p0401 (insig flow) so i looked around the site and found how to by pass the temp sensor and i put a 4.7k resistor in there and now it keeps the egr closed and the check light off till i can get enought time to try and clean it or replace it . also notice when doing this it sounded a little more quite i guess the sensor was also going bad and reading a little too low making the engine getting too much exahust fumes .... well my point is am i thinking rice like when the car feels a little quicker and responsive now since it's getting no exhaust fumes, and my sisters car the egr sticks sometimes so i was going to by pass hers but i need a 77-98k resitor and i cant find one in that range so would hooking 2 reistors end to end give me a resitance in that range ??? oh the 2 resistors are 22k and 57k ... so in theroy i should have 96k??? oh and i was also dying to say ya having my egr bypassed is jdm yo! (1mz-fe's in japan dont have the egr valve)

I'm assuming the land-o-old people isn't California then Florida??
Florida??
^ too much work and the check light will come on because the egr isnt working.

now thats easy ... all that is a 4.7k resistor and i make it look like it's pluged back in ....
oh it's hard to see but yes thats a reistor at the top off the plug and the lines from it jjust run it to the sockets and this is located from a sensor connected to the egr it self

No mine never came on :
You put a resistor in the Intake Temp Sensor plug which is on the intake pipe. The EGR go no wires just 3 vaccum lines and in on the intake manifold. At least it is on my 5S-FE. One of the vaccum hose control the open and close of the EGR. Remove that one and plug it. Unless there is a feed back to tell the ECU that the EGR is not opened when it suppose to. Don't have that on 5S-FE.
With a resistor, you'll be running rich all the time. Not exectly a good thing.

ECU see cooler air -> more air in system -> add more fuel to use up all the air.
Here is my EGR:

^:lol: i might go looking for a JDM intake for it now since i know how to bypass it ... then i can be like my hero 2wickedtoys
