EGR, clean, replace or block off?

[meissen]

Eh? If you don't have it tuned out it will still run exactly the same. I had my EGR blocked off on the v6 and didn't have it tuned out and I had absolutely no problems with idle or anything.

I have block offs for the EGR and exhaust manifolds. Also have my old EGR that was working when I took it off. And the rough idle problem isnt something I encountered since I took mine off.

EGR is not open at Idle.. only at cruising speeds.

[meissen]

Exactly.

Im having a problem with my car running rough when it get warmed up but fine when first started, and when at cruising speed it run rough and surges every once in a while but run fine at WOT. I think it the egr so i bought the block off im not gonna be able to tune right away so will it run bad

[meissen]

No - EGR being blocked off will not affect how your car drives at all.

[steddy]

But you will want to tune the EGR out so that your SES light goes out.

[turnerracing]

yeah i plan on doing that but i want to drive my car right away before i will get a chance to get a tune

[meissen]

Just block it off and drive. Ignore the SES light - it will come on when you're coasting down after the engine has warmed up.

just remembered this is on my list of thing to do over break. I am on ebay to purchase a kit do I need the one with 3 plates or 2? somehow I recall it only being 2 one for valve and one for hose ,but most of the kits have 3.

if I need the three plate kit what is the third plate for????

[white96TA]

for a quick answer!!

[Fbomb]

Air?

[prorac1]

Theres only 2 plates to delete egr, both on the back of the intake. I used Pipe plugs to remove my AIR pump. Hope this helps, Eric L

The third goes on the exhaust manifold the little tear drop shaped one that is

Oh, yeah, thats right. I forgot about that one. My bad. Thanks Eric L
