93 vtec prelude - got egr block plate from kms, and it is too thick to put egr back on. So i remove all egr components and vacuum lines, cap them off and figure I can work around the CEL. Well, i read about people ohming out the egr wires, and having it work - No CEL. Well, i tried reconnecting my EGR components w/o connecting any vacuum lines (BOTH the EGR and the EGR check valves on the driver's side of the engine bay) and i got a CEL anyways. How the hell is ohming them out going to work because there will still be no vacuum lines connected? I reconnect them and still get a code 12 - egr. I want to keep that egr crap out of there, but don't want a CEL. I know that EGR isn't one of those CEL's that cause the car to run "rich" of "safe" as well, even though that may be mostly an obd2 thing. Any help is appreciated, as I've racked my brains searching on this topic. Thanks

Why not just make your own block off plate out of thinner sheet metal. Then you can leave all your EGR stuff hooked up so it will look stock and no CEL's. Shazaam... solved the problem.

nope - want that crap out of there.

oh, and getting a stand-alone is not an option right now either (they do not support egr)

Why do you want the EGR equipment out of the car if you can just install a thinner block-off plate to make it all bolt back up like stock?

You aren't going to save any noticeable weight, and if you have to have the car inspected, you need to have the EGR stuff under the hood.

I blocked off my egr, and occasionally i get cel's

does an egr cel run in "safe mode" or not? Does anyone know about ohming out the wires?!?
