HOW TO: Remove MIL's caused by deleting the VTCS system

[SURGESPEED6]

OK thats simple enought, it looks like you have all the other wires bunched up and not leading to anything, is that the case or am i missing something?

4 of the 5 wires are wired up. The brown one isn't. I only showed you a picture of the two (Orange and yellow) that were vague to me. You still have to wire up the red and black as instructed.

I didn't cut the wires shorter. I just tied them up and zipped them under the IC shroud. I'll cut and refit after my smog and I reinstall my mods.

Im kind of a noob to this and dont want to mess anything up, could you possibly show me where the red and black wires wire up to?

Thanks

the first part is easy. Cut the two wires that go into the Vacuum solenoid. It is on the intake manifold, under the tmic.

Just like the picture except Red Connects to green/black at the vacume solenoid(86) and Black Connects to black/red at the vacume soleniod(85)

I just put everything back together so that's the best you'll get. It's easier than it sounds.

OK that's better than anything i have found online, Thanks for all the help and putting up with the noob lol

Here are the wires you tap into. Anyone, correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

[SURGESPEED6]

Thats exactly what i did. Started it up and no more CEL Thanks for all the help.

Glad to help! I'm doing this once my JMF manifold comes in. Can't wait! Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Clarification. ... the relay makes the ecu think everything is there and working correctly? So not giving a cel or mil.

We are only allowed one mil code in MA and my egr delete takes that place. For now. . . .

Hmmm $5 relay. Hours of enjoyment. ...

Or do what I did. Just disable the codes in ATR and be happy. When inspection comes around plug the egr and the vacuum distributer in the plugs. Enable 2/4 codes so it sees there is an egr and the vacuum distributer and pass inspection. After that just unplug it all and delete the codes again

So, I installed the dei relay as above. I've cleared the runner stuck closed code but am still getting stuck open and now a circuit high code. My diode is a 3W diode I got from RadioShack. Did any of you guys have this problem? Any suggestions?

[Mike4g64]

hey guys, nice write up. I have bought the relay and diodes that were recommended and my shutter valve stuck open went away but now I got a high circuit code p2010. I have changed diodes and rewired many times. Any suggestions?

[SpeedThrills]

Did this a couple of days ago. Local Radioshack is going out of business so I got everything i needed for about $5. Worked like a charm, no CEL. Thanks for the help!

Sounds like you may have the diode installed backwards.

[802MS3]

ugh that picture is gone. where does the diode go?

edit: nm tracked it down, uploaded to the forum.

Hey guys. I'm just did this, but used a 30A starter kill relay. Wired it up exactly as said (86 to green/black, 85 to black/red, 87a and 30 to the plunger) and I'm still getting p2004 stuck open and now a p2010 circuit high code. I've tried the diode both ways and same thing. What do I do now?

Fixed the picture in the OP.

P2010 is caused by the diode being installed backwards. Remove it entirely, and your mil should go away. Installed backwards it's no different than connecting the two wires together. It can damage the ECM, and will stop the relay from working..

Hi there,

I purchased the 8616 DEI relay after deciding to delete my VTCS when the plastic POS broke.

I also bought an assortment of diodes, can someone let me know which diode from this list will work best? I don't want to fuck something up royally here.
Does there need to be a diode at all? If so, what is the best way to tap into those lines with the diode? T-taps and connectors or just wrap and tape?
