Hi guys,
I have done hours worth of searching, finding LOTs of threads on this topic, e.g.
Disable the EGR system the (mostly) Toyota way
1fz-fe EGR disable ?
EGR Problem???
I'm trying to condense these down to something simple.
The reason why I ask is that there are pages and pages of debate, discussion, how-to, etc., but I'm trying to simply summarize what I think I'm reading.
So, am I reading all these threads correctly? Are #1 and #2 above correct? If not, where am I wrong?
Thanks,
Muddy1

- It appears (if its legal in your area or if your rig is off-road-use only) that you can simply block off the EGR system with block-off plates and plugging/removal of vacuum control lines without affecting any engine functions. Correct?
- It appears that you can simply short out the sensor line going to the EGR temp sensor on BOTH OBD1 and OBD2 vehicles and the Engine Controller will be none the wiser (It will simply see "high" temperature on the EGR all the time, and that apparently isn't a problem). Correct?
