Hey guys, I am having a weird idle problem, and I have tried almost everything to figure it out, and I want to disable the EGR without removing it to see how that affects it. Anyone know which vacuum hose I disconnect/plug? I dont want to guess and mess up the vacuum to other components (like the vapor canister/fpr). Or would it be ok to just unplug the EGR solenoid ? Thanks guys.

Just pull the vacuum line to the egr itself and cap it off. My experience with egrs though, usually the diaphragm inside the egr leeks and pulling the vacuum line won't tell you anything (it can yell you if the solenoid is bad though). If pulling the vacuum line doesn't do anything, unbolt the egr and make a block off plate for the intake mani.
