Removed EGR now have problems

No vacuum leaks? Did you reuse the old gaskets? I always add a thin layer of red RTV when I reassemble my manifolds. I had too many vacuum leaks not using it!

I used red RTV on the block off plate. Didn't get to reuse the gasket (it broke on me when I tried to remove it). I'll check on the vac leaks and see if I can find any using propane.

Just checked for vac leaks via propane method, but didn't find any. Also for clarification the O2 reads around 0 volts. I forget which that is (it's either Rich or Lean) after thinking about it, it's reading Lean, not rich.
