Egr Tube... - Scorpion - 02-12-2006 Ok Guys, got the replacement EGR tube for my wagon, as it has broken at the manifold end. Now, ATM I can't get the other end undone....large 1 1/16th nut, seized solid (thanks Ford). So, my question is, if I 'blank off' the manifold end (using a quarter or something behind the plate), what will happen? For the last couple of weeks I've been driving it like this, a little noisy, but no apparent effects on the engine. I know it's part of the Exhaust recirculation, and for a week or so, I don't care about that....but what about where it is connected to, the EGR 'valve' and sensor? Thanks for any input. Mike. Egr Tube... - mo_focus - 02-12-2006 you wont have any problems, its just you might fail your emission test and/or your engine light might come on. I drove like that for about a year without a problem until i had to go for emission testing. Hope this helps, Mo Egr Tube... - Scorpion - 02-12-2006 mo_focus,Feb 11 2006, 06:11 PM Wrote:you wont have any problems, its just you might fail your emission test and/or your engine light might come on. Thanks a lot. I've blocked off the manifold using a 5 cent piece...lol...just stcuk in under the original mounting plate and tightened the nuts. :lol: Now...the EGR tube now is open at the manifold end.....do I need to block it? It's just getting fresh air ATM, so I wonder about the sensor and vacuum unit (I think it's a vacuum unit...>shrugs<.....) Mike. |
