I have a EGR valve unit which I have cut the plunger. But I still have it all. You could jimmy it back together so it looks like it is working.

I thought the OP was trying to pass a visual smog inspection?

Yes, and an EGR valve (an actual, real one, which presumably he already has) is part of doing so. So I'm still baffled by your suggestion.

Probably because it would be the equivalent of having a blocked off EGR port but it would look like a functioning one? Like gutting a cat.

The right way to achieve that result is to just flip the EGR valve on the intake manifold and pu aomehting like a golf tee stem up the vacuum hose for the EGR. Cutting the stem has rendered that EGR valve useless for anything but ballast or scrap.

None that I am aware of.

.......ok......well then why is it a big deal to render the egr valve inoperative/make it scrap?

Plowing through the engine bay yanking and cutting and disabling stuff because "That's a pollution control, so I'ma git rid of it!" is a thoughtless and unreasonable thing to do. See here. Same goes for cutting or gutting the cat (meow), see here.

I guess I was more addresisng this: "The right way to achieve that result is to just flip the EGR valve on the intake manifold and pu aomehting like a golf tee stem up the vacuum hose for the EGR. Cutting the stem has rendered that EGR valve useless for anything but ballast or scrap." I had asked if the EGR valve -- a used one nonetheless -- is particularly valuable.....and was told its not..... Wont get into the whole pollution control topic because I know thats just like discussing religion and politics and "best oil to use". LOL I am not a particular believer that the early pollution controls were particularly good/functional. Kind of like those dang new plastic gas cans....they make them so no extra vapors get released while in storage. Except in doing so they have designed them so that I spill more gas while trying to use them and therefore causing more pollution than the vapors would have probably caused with the old cans. LOL
