will car run without EGR Valve

[kingsmurf]

hello i am looking to buy a 97 grand prix he says it only needs a Egr vavle but it will start stalls out when u give it gas , will it be okay to take out the egr vavle to drive her home only few km's away

yes, but you need to block off the ports that go into the motor and the rear header otherwise youre going to have super huge leaks on both ends and it wont run at all.

^^ This, plus you will throw some codes. Just have someone with a tuner set all your EGR codes to not report.

what is the best thing to do . how can i tell if it's the egr really the problem ?

[kingsmurf]

is there a way to clean the egr just to get her home so i can work on her and replace the egr at home

[Bio248]

take it off and leave it off. eliminate that from the system completely.

why not unplug it?

Are there block off plates on sale on the net, or did most ppl just fab one up?

cut off the flanges that are on the EGR and reuse them. all you have to do is plug up the holes in them with something (i used a nickel and a dime with some RTV)
