Because your chip has rendered it non-functional.


Wow, nothing was mention when I got the Full Throttle Commander Chip, other wise I would have remove during the time I installed the chip.
When I finally get the vacuum block gasket I will unplug the electrical connector just to make sure no code is set, and if not then I will remove the EGR and all hose up to the check valve, and use a hose plug at the check valve.
Give me about a week and I will let you know the results. Thanks

Not sure why you want to remove it, but, remember you have to seal off the opening that it's removal leaves so it cannot leak in the slightest

What Earl told you to do was leave the EGR valve there to seal the hole, but, to remove the egr solenoid that the hoses go to and get it out of the way of things.  Then plug off the hoses or bypass them in the vacuum line plumbing

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Thanks Steve, I will leave it in place, just disconnect the electrical connection plug, remove and plug the vacuum hose associated with the EGR. Years ago I had to replaced the original EGR gasket with a copper gasket and no leak.
