breather filter on egr

[RABID_MP5]

I have it blocked off (ie with a solid sheet sandwiched on the gasket)and my CEL is always on (P0401) due to the ECU detecting the lack of flow thru the valve. My main goal is to never have to clean/replace that valve again.

(shrug) Whatever works for you. The CEL would bother me....

Along Magnum's train of thought, if you do decide to pull air thru the EGR - What if you obtain the filtered air from the intake tract, somewhere between the MAF sensor and throttle plate? Then at least the MAF would be accurately measuring the intake charge and its corresponding oxygen quantity. (The argument of whether you should do this remains.)

If your that anal about it sure but really not nessecary.
