After researching I've decided that I don't need my EGR Valve (which has been flashing CEL's in my face and occasionally sputtering my motor). Being that I live in a non-emmissions area I think my best plan is to just rid myself of it.

Question 1. If I was to remove the valve altogether would I still get a CEL?

Question 2. Does anyone have a DIY guide or some helpful pictures to assist me?

thanks in advance!!

1) Yes.

2) Remove. Block off. Drive.

There's a fuse you can solder into a sensor that eliminates the CEL after removing the EGR. Still, some people remove the EGR and don't even get the CEL after that. Search freshalloy.

Resistor, not fuse. Check your info before posting please.
