Does anyone know where I can get the procedures for removing the whole nine yards? I bought the car in CA, but don't live there anymore, so I don't need it. Also, will removing the EGR mess with the "engine check" like? I think the computer picks up on problems with the EGR system, no? Also, how bad would it be to disconnect the airbox flapper in OR? it get to 30-32F about a couple weeks out of the year.. worth doing it, or not?
