I got an EGR block-off plate but im not too sure how to remove the EGR valve and what lines i would have to plug up and all that. Also is that gonna keep a check engine light on? how do i do it?

 

yes, you will probably get a check engine light if you are still OBDII. There are two nuts holding it onto the intake manifold. Remove them then remove the EGR valve. Before putting the plate on, be sure to use gasket maker of some sort to make a good seal.

you should really read about these things before you go spending money.

 

i am obd I but are there any vacuum lines that are gonna need to be plugged? and i only spent 5 bucks, lol

 

I have a obd1 h22 and when i putting a block off plate on my egr, a mil code(12) coming few week after I drill a hole in the plate on exhaust side and the light doesn't open (scuse me I don't speak english)

 

doesnt drilling a hole kinda defeat the purpose of the plate?

 

You will still have a code with OBD1. Install the plate and you can get rid of everything except the parts that have wires plugged into them (black plastic solenoid and actual valve). I just put the remaining stuff somewhere out of the way...

 

so if i leave all that stuff plugged in then i wont have a code?... and even if i have a code will the car still run fine?

 

lol that's a new EGR valve i put on there before i sold you the engine. the old one was was seized shut with carbon build up. you might as well just leave it.

 

It's very difficult to run egr valve lift with a block off plate with no check engine light.
