Thread: puma egr related problem

Not sure what a "mil" is but if you have just un plug the EGR it won't be long before you get a engine fault light on the dash.

Best option is to electronically close it with one of the remaps available.

BAS would be my choice.

Cheers

As drover said the engine fault light will finally pop up...I did the same with the 2.4 it worked well until the light came up thought I had it fooled for a bit
Also not sure what this "mil" is ???

"Malfunction Indication Lamp" aka engine fault on the instrument panel so just like you guys say.

MIL is the engine fault light on the dash as Lagerfan said. I thought about BAS some time ago, I heard that remap does not only turn off the EGR but also produce more power and torque. I think the drive train may not be able to cope with the extra power and torque. Furthermore, I'm not sure whether I can handle the extra power and torque properly as I've damaged the transfer case once by revving up the engine to more than 4000 rpm in 1st low gear. That left my puma stranded in Dubbo for more than 6 weeks.

Hi c.h.i.e.f,
how long did it take the engine fault light to come up after you unplugged the EGR? So far I've been running the puma for about 1 hour, the light is still off.

Care to expand on this?

Just tell Pete what you want.

I have 3 maps on my programming device,
1/ stock map
2/ 2013 performance map
3/ stock with EGR closed and speed limiter removed

Cheers

It was awhile ago now and cannot remember if it was speed related or time related...it took awhile I drove around town and at different speeds then bang it finally appeared...go sit on 100km/h see if it pops up.
