EGR Block-off Help
My EGR tube is broken and I had it semi-fixed using a piece of hose from my SMOG system. Well the hose got too hot and broke. I'm gonna block the ends of the EGR off for now (until I get the money to buy a new tube). What do I need to block off? I'm getting a pipe cap and pipe plug for the fitting on the intake-manifold and the bottom of the solenoid. Do I need to block-off where the solenoid hooks to the upper-intake too? Thanks.

Thanks subford, will it still show a CEL?
mean green, I hear ya. I thought the problem was a leaking manifold when I first heard it, so I plastered part of the manifold with the biggest hair-line crack in it with JB. I'm lookin at how to fab a better tube for next time now.

Yes you will get a CEL.
OR
you can put a block off plate in between the valve and the upper intake and leave the vacuum on the valve and you should not get an EGR code.

I fixed it a bit ago. Everything's together and it's running and sounding better. I put a plate (actually part of a coke can with permatex on the sides (didn't have a gasket at the house). I'll get/make a better plate soon.

5/8" freeze plug will fit snugly in the hole of the EGR. Thats all you need to block it off
