Hello,

Here is my idea. I have replaced the OEM uppipe with a TSX that has a single bung. I removed the stock EGT probe and replaced it with the ILP 'no weld' probe.

I have the expected CEL 'cause I haven't installed the CEL fix/resistor.

Now, I'm looking at the OEM probe/connector and wondering...."Is there any reason I can't cut off the OEM probe and connect the OEM wiring/connector to the ILP probe?" Then, plug it back in, to the stock harness, and get rid of the CEL? (see picture)

With regard to the OEM plug: Anyone know how to tell which terminal inside the connector is + and which is - ?

If this works, then:


Wiring up the VDO EGT gauge...

Would I be able to jumper in, to the correct leads, on the ECU? Would the parallel signal be sufficient to give the correct signal to the ECU and the EGT gauge?

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks for the encouragement.

Does anyone know if this will work?
