I just had a thought. I've read that a ball bearing can be used to
block the EGR tube, and one guy used a small metal disc. Since I have
no ball bearings around, believe it or not, would something else work?
I'm thinking a tin foil cap or some aluminum tape?
The vacuum line CAN be occluded with a BB or ball bearing. I don't like
that fix. I remove the vacuum line and plug the lead toward the vacuum
source with a golf tee (be sure IT doesn't leak - some cheap ones DO).
As to the port where the EGR connects, it can be blocked with a plate IF
the EGR won't close. If the EGR closes, there is NO need to block the
port. If you feel better about blocking it anyway - do it...............
