Post Which line do I plug? EGR
I am wanting to plug the vac line because my truck is running rich. I have searched on here and they said to try it because after all it is a free solution.

This one?



Or this one?



Does it matter which side I plug?

Unhook it at the EGR valve and plug it there.

Also do I plug the EGR valve nipple and the vac line coming off the nipple?

Or just the vac line?

I don't want those extra exhaust gases just floating around in my engine compartment.

Just the hose. You don't need to do anything to the EGR valve nipple

Just had the battery disconectted for about 30 minutes, then plugged the vac line, and connected the battery and drove around, man it feels better! Truthfully i'm so happy. But as usual I'll have to see how it performs in the next week or so.

Thank you!

Yea, that was the first thing I checked, good. So I moved onto this "free" solution.
