So I’ve been reading on how to disable the EGR valve. The paper clip method for the temp sensor to trick the computer. Either plugging, or looping vacuum lines. But what I don’t understand is if my EGR failed and is stuck open don’t I need to do something to get it closed before disabling it or am I not on the right thought process? In my mind disabling it won’t do anything if it’s stuck open. I have the 71 code and rough/low idle currently. Thanks in advance.

I see no point in de-activating it without also removing it. And by removing it, you cap the ports so it doesnt matter what state it is / was in before removal. Your engine wiring harness will thank you for it. Mine wasn't burned yet but I was able to see the heat starting to do its dirty work back there.

So putting a plate on the intake is easy enough but what about the exhaust side? Do you you literally put some sort of cap on the pipe or is there somewhere else to plug it off? Suggestion on a cap that works? Thank you
Yeah both ends have a similar flange. Pretty sure both my caps are just the flanges I cut off the original parts and filled the hole with weld before re mounting as original. Nothing permanent.

Thanks for the help
EGR deleted. Capped both ends. Can someone guide me to the thread or link with detailed pictures on what additional should be removed. Novice wrencher.

Disable the EGR system the (mostly) Toyota way
Hi all. Tired with CEL, dive again in the EGR, and get in touch with this interesting search of the correct resistor value. As I'm an EE, Almost read the entire thread, and a thought came up in my mind; why substituing the temp sensor with a resistor? It would be easier to plug a 5-50* kOhm...

EGR Delete Questions... YES, I used search!
Hi 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...
