A place called Benz Injection sells a blockoff plate that deletes the fuel shutoff solenoid. It seemed to make sense to a certain extent (less leak points for air getting into the system and the rack shuts off anyways).


But... once done, it's been sort of regretful. The rack does shutoff but there's a surge when shutting down. It almost sounds like a runaway for a second.



The real issue though is that now there's a P0215 and the car will not be able to pass emissions since this is a CEL code. Is there a way to stop this from happening besides putting the solenoid back on?
