You get a pretty orange light on your dash.
You should have a plug laying around somewhere close to the EGR that isn't plugged in. H23s have EGR also. You just aren't looking hard enough.

 

where should the plug be coming from, i searched and searched, give me a clue.
and is it a big deal that it's not plugged in?

my bulb burnt out on my cel so i didnt kno aobut this.
thanks

 

It should come off of the same harness as your thermostat plug. It T's off about three inches from where it plugs into the thermostat housing.

Yikes, I would get that fixed first!

 

without tuning to exclude the use of the egr wouldn't it prevent the engine from running at full capacity ?

It's mainly for emissions purposes, it cools the combustion a bit but lets in spent exhaust gases so it can hurt performance. It won't keep the engine from performing at full capacity.

 

that is definetly a EGR valve....you realy dont need one.

You don't want to leave it unplugged or block it off unless you tune for it. Just getting will do more harm than good unless you tune it to compensate.
