Another Egr Question

many guys cap those lines off even when keeping the rest of the egr stuff intact. That'd be my suggestion

How are you going to cap off the little coolant line at the metal heater line? A vac cap is not reinforced for pressure. The fool who did that on my car created a repeated coolant leak. I say fool because they also went to the work to remove the fitting from the back corner of the manifold and replace it with a plug. Two pieces of proper size fuel injection hose or even carb fuel line would have been better and cheaper.

Here is when you might miss the coolant running through the EGR spacer - 1. when it is cold and humid enough the TB ices on the inside. 2. On a hot day when 195 deg coolant is cooler than the EGR plate.

But, does the EGR system even work the same on that 98 intake? If it does not have the hole in the middle of the intake halves that runs to the bottom of the egr spacer, it is made for the external system. Keeping the Stang smog stuff hooked up might keep sending the computer the right signals even if the EGR system does not function right.

Without those egr holes in the intake, egr isn't working...at this point pull the egr off and Ditch it
