    ok, so it occured to me, my egr is not like the others. My o2 sensor is located later on in the exhaust and the egr is front mounted and welded to fit. my heat shield matches so what do you think is on my car? new headers,jdm something or other?

    I wish I knew the story behind this car... since the o2 sensor is later in the exhaust straight down from the intake, maybe it is a real EGR. could it be a JDM 3sge? what are other things what would give it away?

    look for extension wires on the o2 sensor.

    Someone put that on there to pass Emissions. It probably isn't hooked up just there for the looks. Get rid of it. Also get that gasket maker of that valve cover gasket.

    that manifold is 86-89 which has the o2 sensor on the manifold....someones added that to your 89 motor for emissions testing, since you live in good old Ontario.... which means your car probably came from either the States, or Manitoba or Quebec perhaps?

    ya, im just leaving it on there, its gotta pass emissions still and it managed to last time. Im just curious if its functional. Car runs fine on 87, gets good millage and has plenty of power so I think everything will be ok.

    p.s. gasket maker is very handy if you have a cracked valve cover because you do not have to torque it down hard to seal. :oops:
