I thought I would add that I have a 93 SE-R with a DET swapped in using a stock SE-R ecu (94, cali model i believe). I was getting error 35 - EGR Temp sensor. After reading this thread I was a little confused as to what value resistor to use. Some figures were thrown around such as 100 ohm...100k ohm and 68k ohm and I would like to clarify a bit. 100 ohms is FAR different from 100k ohms - 100 does not equal 100,000(k means 1000). I don't think anyone meant to be misleading, but...it was lol.
Based on what eric said...

(I looked in the FSM for this info/graph, but could not find it.)
68k doesn't seem like enough (although it worked for someone), and 100k is right on the edge of the scale (100k resistors arent every EXACTLY 100k, even good resistors can be off by 5%) , so I decided to aim for the 200k range. I had a few 100k 1/4watt resistors, so I just put two of them in series, effectively making myself a 200k resistor. I put this across the two terminals of the EGT temp sensor connector (underneath the intake around the middle of the manifold, roundish 2 pin connector), cleared the codes from the computer and went for a drive. So far after a good half hour of driving easy, idling, and all out beating the crap out of the engine (and tires), I have no check engine light. Right now the resistors are just pushed in and holding fine - I may solder them in correctly later. Hope this helps someone in the future, I know I spent an hour or two with the wrong resistors.
