right guys and gals, i keep reading about blanking off my egr valve on my 95 cavalier(ex ste),can someone explain the benefits and problems off this to me as it seems really easy to do,but why would i want to?

dead easy use a peice of metal gasket to block it off.

the EGR is to warm the engine up quicker and therefor lower emmisions from cold.

ideally its ment to lower fuel consumption.

PM me i have some metal gasket sheet we can sort something out.

Some people say their cars run quicker? This is on the 1.8/2.0 vectra's.

Maybe it's down to mind?

It recirculates exhaust gasses in to the intake - you think thats good for combustion?

I removed it on my last BMW and it felt smoother, more powerful and made less black smoke.

Unfortunatly I cant remove it on this car as it flags up an error on the IDrive, if I could remove it though, I would!

Did it on the 420 as everyone does, and it made it a bit more responsive... nothing major, but certainly something.

It putd exhaust gas back into the intake? Who's brilliant idea is that!

so are there any negative sides to doing this

higher emmisions whilst cold
