Unable to find another "liberal" testing station around Charlotte (the one used in the past has a new guy) I'm needing to reverse some mods to pass the visual. The MKIV passes the sniffer with flying colors even with all the mods but the absurd visual is a no go. R & R of the downpipe is no biggy, my greatest concern is the EGR.
I have installed a block-off plate on the top end of the EGR, bottom is still stock, capped the lines and installed the resitor on the harness. In order to pass the visual, will it be safe to remove the resitor and reconnect the harness with the block-off plate still installed or will doing so throw a code and/or dramatically affect the behavior of the ECU and A/F mixture? It's a '93/OBD1 and does not require the OBD testing but still gets the sniffer intrusion.
What if there were no hypothetical questions?
