When I fitted the turbo engine into my car I decided to remove the EGR stuff. I did this partly to simplify things (less to go wrong) and to stop the build up of any exhaust soot etc in the inlet manifold.
I have been having problems with intermittent high idle speed since and have started to think removing the EGR might be causing the problem.
As far as I know the engine management system allows for the exhaust gas and alters the ignition timing and mixture. I think my car is doing this but because there is no exhaust gas going in it is confusing things.
Has anyone had similar problems of could confirm what I am thinking. I either need to get hold of a non EGR ECU and ICU or re-fit the EGR valve. I would rather not re-fit it as it will mean swapping the inlet manifold over although it won't end up costing anything.
