Least Wiring on a stock engine?

No smog or inspections needed of any kind!

I've had different motors in this car and am just putting the stock motor and wiring back together.

 

My question is what stuff do you guys delete as not needed/just causing problems from a stock manifold?

You know, when everthing gets shaved clean. I know-"If everything works properly you should leave it all there" haha. I'm not going to fight stuff I don't need to. I've decided a nice running stock Z is better than a really cool turbo/v8/other swap sitting in the garage.

 

So...Injectors(duh), AFM, Dist., Temp sensor, injector drop resitors and ECU(another duh!) oil PSI.

 

What else? I know you can ditch the EGR. What else?

 

I searched and everything seems to be for modified and swapped setups.

Any input would be great. It warmed up outside and I want to drive it instead of looking at it!

 

Thanks,

Brian

ECU is a duh, but here's the sensors that are mandatory (from my experience).

 

Air Flow Meter aka AFM

Head Temp Sensor

Throttle Position Switch aka TPS

Dizzy Wiring (harness wiring to coil, coil to dizzy, dizzy to plugs - also dizzy wiring itself, like going to harness if it's a L28ET)

Injectors

 

I highly recommend O2. It'll even run off the O2 at idle if the sensor is warm enough.

 

You don't need the oil PSI unless you want your gauge that's more accurate than a gauge on a NASA shuttle...

 

You can delete all of the cold start system if you're in a warm weather area. Just means when it's super cold outside you get to drive with three feet for about 1-2 minutes.

 

EGR isn't required, though it can improve gas mileage a fair bit when working right, and certainly reduces emissions.

 

PCV isn't required either, but helps engine health enough to be worth it to most. Makes for a cleaner look to remove it though. That's enough to warrant many people removing it.

 

I'm sure there's other stuff I haven't mentioned that can go, but I've listed all I think you really need above.
