    tyson short (Tyson) | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 05:31 pm  I had a vacuum leak aroung the egr vlv. I decided to see if I could just do away with it. I built a plate to block the hole into the intake, and (for now) just blocked the vacuum line off with a bolt. do I need to do anything else. Do I need to unhook the egr vac reg. or buypass it? or is there anything else I should do. Thanks,Tyson |
    Phil Aubrey (Paubrey) | Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 08:28 pm  It may start pinging on you. EGR not only reduces smog but lowers combustion temps.If you don't hear it it means the detionation sensor is retarding timing and there will be a power loss. If you run race fuel you will be OK. |
