Yes. I just blocked the vacuum line and stuck the resistor in the plug and threw a litttle piece of duct tape on it to hold it there. WAnted to make ure it was reversible.

What I don't get living here too is there is no smog tests in the capital of the green state? WTF? (Not complaining at all)

I decided to try it out today. Blocked off the line going to the EGR with a screw, didnt touch anything. Want to see if this is worth it.
Did I get the right one?
also, where do I put my 10k resister? Here?
*edit* Damn, sorry for the crappy pictures!

It reminds me of what I heard a comedian say today.. they said " I was givin one of my hippie friends a ride in my big ass SUV and they said you know your car rapes the land.. And I said, well how about you get out and hitch hiked and we'll see who gets raped." I took the Cat. converter off my truck, big freakin whoop man, look at the united states military, every vehicle they have DOESNT have to pass any smog inspection, you know how much pollution a tank puts out? I'm not trying to be a dick here but seriously, people are gonna do what they wanna do, so get over it.

The resistor goes on the temp. sesnsor that goes into the egr valve. It is sticking straight out of the side of it. Should be a grey plug attached. Just unplug it and stick the resistor in the connections. female end obviously.

You mean with a block-off plate? Sure, use the high temp sensor safe copper RTV and you'll be fine. I guess you could fill the tube with it like chimmike says and call it good. Just make sure it's FULLY cured before you drive it.
Yep, I just haven't done it so I can't tell ya exactly how. Try searching.

Thanks Mud hippy
I did plug the CSI back in, the plug came out VERY easy though, thats not good. Also looked very dirty.
Should I plug the opening on the EGR with anything? Or just leave it open?
This has got to be the easiest mod I have ever done! ( that gave me results)

so there is no possible problems with just disconecting the hoses on the egr? or should i just do the full blockoff on it? i really just wanted a cheap fix because it started sticking.

For the record, if your EGR is working properly, then there should NOT be any diference in power, idle, or gas mileage. Blocking it off is only a crutch, but it will work. Fixing the problem is a better cure! Personally, I put less than a thoudsand miles a year on my truck so the pollution I'm spewing out is negligible. But, for those who use theirs as a daily driver.............
