Pete,

It may not revert to the backup fuel and spark, or "Limp Home" mode, but you'll probably get that nasty yellow light on your dash staring you in the face on the highway. Even the TBI cars have some diagnostics for the EGR, through the MAP sensor change when the valve is commanded open.

I don't know about removal but my egr valve was leaking exhaust and it had triggered off another scensor, to me it seems like everything works as a system, so it may not scence your egr but the ecm may pick up something else. Good luck
