Thread: Egr question???

Tweet

I have a 84 chevy 350 with (Tbi)

I have removed the smog and a/c and stuff BUT I still have my EGR on my intake. Right beside the EGR is a egr sealniod.

my question is........

Can I unplug the sealniod and KEEP the Egr on the intake.

OR

Do I just remove the EGR and the sealnoid?


What would you do?

Your EGR is a normally closed valve that modulates using a controlled vaccuum to admit exhaust gas into the intake. The solenoid blocks the signal at idle and low rpm, as I recall. You can unplug the solenoid, or unhook and plug the vacuum line to the EGR diaphragm if you don't want to pull it off and block the holes with a blanking plate. If it's not functional it's ugly sitting there.

I agree with Roger, as long as it's not needed for any kind of official smog check.

Keith

it sure is ugly sitting there
