Default EGR Valve...

Can you do without the egr valve on an 85 without it throwin a code? Also what is the little wire that is attatched to the egr valve? The wire bung broke while i was workin on a project and if i can do without the egr valve im just going to remove it. Thanks ahead of time!

really?? We can just take it off? I have an E86, and I want the EGR off just to get it out of the way, its a PITA trying to do anything on the pass. side of the engine. To the OP, I think the wire is the EGR sensor that runs to the ECM.

You might throw a code 32 with the sensor/solenoid disconnected; I had to get the code deleted in my custom chip...
