Broke EGR vacuum modulator...

91 3.0 pickup

snapped the bottom plastic nipple off. Doesn't seem to effect truck lol. Anyway I can get around having to buy another $50+ piece of plastic for the sake of emissions from what I understand...(Doesn't matter I live in KY)

Can I just plug up some holes or something? Yes I'm cheap.

glue it back on. c.a., geurilla glue, epoxy, etc. it only runs on longer pulls, but will be checked at im inspection. not sure specifically, but many enguage with, or in conjunction with the tc lockup clutch, so you won't see it parked, or stop and go but it will have an effect on the highway and longer drives etc.

Glue it is! Specifically you mean there will be engine issues if I plug holes/leave off?

I live in one of the last free states there are no emissions checks...no one around here would be able to have a car...

nice, we got rid of im inspection a few years ago. allowed me to properly cam and program my 01 tahoe for more power AND economy...... it owuld never pass this way before with the rich idle, but over 900 is even better for emmisions..... biggest thing is you can update the crappy 80's spaghetti carbed engines to something cleaner and more efficient legally now. i always pondered how counter-intuitive they were with those rgulations, lol.
