FFP Chip; Burned finger with EGR....????

[grandprix34]

Well, I broke a corner of the EGR plate and I thought "what the hey, the EGR is disabled..." Well, no, aside of a huge vacuum leak thru the EGR area, i burned my finger with either the extreme heat of the valve or the exhaust gas escaping itself....

Now i need to buy a replacement gasket and maybe a new EGR cuz i have a HUGE vacuum leak thru that port....My question is why is exhaust gas still going up the EGR tube if I ordred the FFP chip to disable it? Hmm...threw a code 35 at the same time..

There will ALWAYS be exhaust gas in the EGR tube unless you physically block it off. Dissabling the EGR in the chip just means that the EGR valve will not be commanded to open as it normally would.
