If you dont have an accessport, go to radio shack, buy a 1/2 watt 2.2ohm resistor. they come like 5 to a pack or something, its only like 50 cents. cut the tips down a little and stick it in the click where the EGT sensor plugs into. that will make your ecu think your egt is still plugged in and it will not throw a cel. Dont forget to put some electrical tape on the end of the electrical connector that you put yours resistor in.

If it looks like this then yea that's the resistor.

If you follow the sensor to where it connects to, disconnect it at the connecting point and put the resistor on the female side like so:
