Sounds like the EGR valve is the least of your problems.

FWIW, I tried eliminating the EGR system on my 'Bird and the mileage went down by 1-2 mpg. By re-installing the EGR system with working components, I got my 1-2 mpg back.

So a working EGR system will INCREASE mpg. That's been my experience!

When was the last time you tuned it up? The only to get rid of the cel after an egr delete is to get he computer reprogramed.

When I did my EGR delete, I didn't have a tune, but I did have a little circuit made that "fooled" the EEC into thinking the EGR system was working properly so I didn't have a CEL.

The whole reason I made that circuit was because I was thinking that eliminating the EGR circuit would increase MPG if you could keep the computer happy. Circuit worked, but my ultimate goal was a FAIL (MPG went down), so I went back to the original OEM design.

I just turned it off in the tune along with the TC and o2s.
