Okay, I've been having trouble after trouble trying to get my EGR to work, so I was just wondering somethign.... Could I just delete it and get it over with?
I'm lucky enough to live in a place that doesn't have emissions tests to worry about, so I was thinking that I could just snip off the tube from the EGR and plug it with some cold weld, remove the EGR and screw a plate over the upper intake vent, then plug the vacuum line and forget about the whole thing.
I heard that it would make my engine knock due to the higher combustion temps, but I also heard that someone here did the same thing. Do you get better milage and power? Is it a good idea to do if I don't have emissions to worry about? Will my check engine light stay on because of that?
(I was going to swap in a ranger header... But I've run into money problems and I'm nearly broke. If anyone has one they're willing to part with, I'd be happy to take it off your hands for the shipping cost, though...*hopefull dreaming*)
