Blocking the EGR Valve

[foggs]

Hi all. I've seen a couple of threads mention that those with a ZD30 and have put the EGR plate in get a check engine light. I also am having this just recently. When i got the car no issue, MAF dided, i put a non-genuine one in then a month later i had engine lights and limp mode. Have since adjusted my dawes valve because and bout a proper MAF, no more limp mode but i still get the light. Checked the code by bridging pins and it says EGR control valve failure or malfunction. I have cleared the codes several times but it just comes back. Any thoughts? at a guess i'd say the plate has no hole in it.

been talking to bigguwesty and he has been helpful, just thought i'd ask around some more also TIA

I've had it blocked for over a year now and unfortunately nothing I've tried has helped, it will come up regularly. I've noticed it pops up mostly when I put it under load, but I have a bluetooth OBDII, so it's a matter of pressing a few buttons on my deck to clear the codes. It's a bit annoying at times but you get used to it I might get fed up one day and put a hole in it, but for now deep breaths
