I snapped ERG tube when taking it off for gasket replacement i have heard no biggy just to block it off
BUT the vacume lines that go to both EGR valves and then to what i think is carcol canister or some canister on passengers side and then on drivers side goes to some sensor ? Question is can I just block off entire route from both sides of intake ? Or should I just block off vacume line that used to go to ERG? Please Help ASAP Engine in pieces? Also if any one needs to EGR vavles or pipe the run behind engine?
NO, repair it, they are there for a reason no mater what people on the forum say.

arite but what do they do besides emissions cause i dont have to worry about that and if i have to block it off until i can get a new part leave just one of them one there or block both until have both ? thank you
keeps the system running the way it should. It will iether run rich or too lean.

What? Diesels don't run rich/lean. (This is a diesel, right? The V8s don't have EGR.) They love excess air. There are block off kits for this so you can do it.
Won't be a diesel in Texas.
May be he will reply back with more information.

Its a 2003 4.6 V8 GAS or land rovers have tough engines because thats what ive been given it. Thats why there is a problem Rav Manuel no have EGR just going off other vehicles?
What should I do until i can find or afford a EGR Tube? Also why dont other v8 4.6 have EGR OR 2 EGR valves? I think i read some where that it was a Japeness spec.
????????????
Disko MIke I favor your input but, please specify reason Im hard head and hard to just do as told unless I comprehend Thank Alot Everybody
Your non functioning EGR (no vacuum) will cause a CEL to come on.
As far as the too rich too lean scenario: With the lack of functioning EGR the vehicle will only run based upon actual air flow to the cylinders versus the introduction of already combusted exhaust gases that reduce the air quality/oxygen content in the combustion chambers.
With the oxygen content higher, the pulse width of the injector will increase, but I stop short in saying it will be running "rich". The inference that it will be running "rich" is that it is running poorly. (ie:too much fuel for given conditions thereby increasing the emmisions out the exhaust)
EGR systems are in place to reduce emmisions (Nox in particular). Check Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market for the part you need in the interim.
Thats exactly whats broken but at the copper bottoms Ive asked every auto dealer in town what it is or if i could order it and they are F-ing clueless thank alot for clearing that up now could you explain what it does or if it will run with out it for a while and what that would cause and is a secondary air injector the same as a EGR?
