I plugged the EGR valve on my car with e Bosch LH-Jetronic 2.4 system, and it quickly detects this EGR flow error.
Is there a quick and easy way to fool the ECU so it thinks the flow is working as i would have?

Quick and easy would be to hook it back up. It doesnt really help or hurt performance.

Agreed. Without it you'll have detonation, increased NOx, and increased EGTs. EGR is a wonderful thing... keep it.

Yeah, they are right, the EGR doesn't hurt performance like they did when they first came out. Modern engines are designed to run with the EGR so technically it helps your performance and fuel milage.

to answer the question, no there isn't any easy way to fool the computer.
Replace the entire engine management system with an aftermarket stand alone.....but that would be a bit more spendy that putting the EGR system back to stock config :icon16:
