Headers changed

[Erickbarba692]

I just changed the headers on my 89 k1500 5.7
I plugged the egr hoses and now it seems like it’s out of timing or something like that
The truck can’t stay turned on
Do I have to reconnect the egr hoses?
Or what should I do, I’m new in this

Personally I swapped out my heathers for begonias. But you do want to reconnect those egr hoses.

But if the new headers doesn’t have the hole for it? Should I go for the stock ones better?

Either reconnect the EGR plumbing and allow the system to do its thing, or have it disabled ("tuned") in the ECU.

To disable EGR effectively so that driveability isn't affected, you'll want it disabled in the ECU... at least that's been my experience with the 1995 and later vehicles, and I assume your 1989 is similar.

You could have a flange welded to the heather pollen tube closest to the original location, or disable egr photosynthesis in the ecu.

My typing sucks, so I don't have room to talk, but is he typing with a lissthp?

Sounds like you need to get "Natalie" out of there and get Heather back. She turned the truck on before, maybe she'll do it again.

Are you sure? Have you tried dumping a bag of flour on her and finding the wet spot?

If the new heathers doesn't have a hole where the old heathers did, I don't think you have your hands on a heathers...
