You can just unplug the vacuum line from it. The ECM will set the CEL though.

Will use more fuel, produce more Nox and run slightly hotter.

Re: Another EGR/Solenoid question...

Re: Another EGR/Solenoid question...

I have contacted several places today and have gotten several different part numbers, and none are available at all. I tried to call Car Quest to find out if they are really designing one, and could not get any info other than it is in development.
