Question Eliminating EGR ???

Hey;
I've been thinking, since my EGR valve is pretty much crap and I don't want to spend the money to replace it, why not just replace it. However, here in IL, I have emmissions. So a couple of questions.

1) Block off plates are easy. But it will throw a CEL. Is there anyway to eliminate the CEL from it? Like an EGR simulator or something?

2) Would I still have problems passing emmissions without the EGR and with a CEL? Would the readings be higher or something?

3) Any harm by removing the EGR system?

Thanks guy!

Re: Eliminating EGR ???

I know mine will throw a CEL within 50 miles of driving without it. I've done it a couple times, plus with mine being bad already

Re: Eliminating EGR ???

When you did it before, did you just unplug it or do it the right way?

Re: Eliminating EGR ???

I am with them, I have no emissions stuff and no CEL's but then again, we are all 4g63 guys too. Would unbolting it, leaving it plugged in, and then blocking it off work? Thats what I did for the stock BCS, I am pretty sure just unplugging that will toss a code, so I just left er plugged in and put it off to the side.
