superjay5ive Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hey Guys, I've been slowing bring my MJ back to life. I pulled out my EGR as I wasn't sure if it was actually functioning. The "plunger" in the EGR doesn't move freely, it moves, just not very well. So I am currently letting it sit in some carb cleaner. my question is. If i can't get the plunger to move freely, can I just insure its in the closed position and put it back on and remove the vacuum lines so it stays closed? Or do I make a block off plate? Is there any reason I should remove the tube from the intake and exhaust in doing this? I went to two different parts store and neither could get a new EGR....

Pete M Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 honestly I would take out the gasket, cut a piece of steel for a blockoff plate, then reinstall the plate between the gasket and EGR and call it a day. that way it can't go bad and it'll still look like it should.
