I have a 1991 240sx with a KA24de and I have just got done replacing some stock stuff with aftermarket parts. Whenever I was putting things back, I read that I could remove my EGR system and there would be no problems.

Here's what is wrong: my car runs fine until I get it up to 60-65mph, then it will jerk and sputter like it is not getting enough fuel in it. I was wondering if, since the engine was not getting that little bit of unburned fuel that it was used to, was it not pushing enough fuel into the combustion chamber? If not what could it be?

Any help would be nice.

I did this with a small aluminum plate. There was a wire going to a box on the driver side of the engine bay. I removed the box and tucked the wire under, I didn't know if there was something that I needed to do with that?

I am not sure what you mean? Like lights on my cluster?

Sorry I am new to all of this.

Thanks I will try that first. Where did this come from? Was it a Manual?

You probably just forgot to block off the vacuum line after you removed it.
