If you removed the EGR valve, assuming that you plugged the holes, the engine would run, but it would not be compliant with EPA regulations. That is a $10,000 violation. It would also cause a computer code to be set, and you would not be able to pass an emissions test.
Remove the EGR valve vacuum lines. Remove the EGR valve retaining screws. Wash the EGR valve in hot water. Allow the valve to thoroughly dry before installing it.
* Remove the air intake duct from the throttle body and air filter housing * Detach the vacuum line from the EGR valve.Disconnect the EGR pipe nut * Remove the EGR valve mounting fasteners * Remove the EGR valve and gasket from the manifold.Discard the gasket * With a wire wheel buff the exhaust deposits from the EGR valve mounting surface on the manifold
Remove the wiring harness from your 2000 Dodge Stratus EGR valve. Remove the EGR valve retaining screws. Reverse the process to install the new EGR valve.
* Remove the air intake duct from the throttle body and air filter housing * Position the hoses and wiring harness aside to access the EGR valve * Disconnect the EGR pipe * Remove the EGR valve mounting fasteners * Remove the EGR valve and gasket from the manifold.Discard the gasket * Using a gasket scraper clean the EGR valve mounting surface

The EGR valve and electrical transducer should be replaced at the same time as they are matched. Remove EGR transducer from the air inlet duct. Disconnect vacuum supply tube from EGR transducer solenoid. Remove air inlet duct. Remove EGR tube to EGR valve screws. Remove EGR valve mounting screws. Remove EGR valve and transducer. Clean gasket surfaces. Discard old gaskets. If necessary, clean EGR passages. Loosely install EGR valve with new gaskets and finer tighten EGR tube fasteners. Tighten tube fasteners to 95 in lb, tighten EGR valve mounting screws to 200 in lb. Install air inlet duct. Connect vacuum supply tube to solenoid. Attach electrical connector to solenoid. Install EGR transducer onto air inlet duct.
Could be an EGR port clogged with carbon. Remove and clean EGR and EGR ports.
You have to remove the egr tube, vacuum source and two bolts. the tube can be quite difficult. Generally the DPFE sensor on Fords is the cause of an EGR problem though.
remove egr and clean it.refit should cure the promblem.EGR STANDS FOR EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATER.
Removal Remove the air cleaner outlet tube. Disconnect the mass air flow (MAF) sensor electrical connector. Disconnect the breather pipe. Remove the air cleaner. Fully loosen the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve to exhaust manifold tube nut from the bottom of the EGR valve. Disconnect the vacuum line from the top of the EGR valve. Remove the EGR valve. Remove and discard the EGR valve gasket. Installation NOTE: Use a new EGR valve gasket when installing the EGR valve. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
